2nd Generation Valued opinions wanted on two products for my Gen2 Camry

I wanted to know if any of you guys/gals have tried this stuff - Auto-RX. They make it sound great but I wanted some of your valued opinions. They say you get a free bottle if five people sign up on their forum under your name - so if any of you are interested and would sign up under my ID (tracyf) I would be thankful.
http://www.auto-rx.com/

Also, have any of you got any opinions or experience with something you place in the air intake to creat a vortex of air like this thing? Thanks for any and all comments/suggestions/opinions.

If you want to clean your engine, just use seafoam instead of this stupid online crap. Seafoam has proven to work wonders time after time for thousands of people.

For the air intake thing... don't get it. I don't know why you would want it, but I'll tell you straight up, you're NOT going to notice a difference in power.

Anyone else used either of these? Any experiences with seafoam compared to this stuff?

Thanks to any and all -

God bless

I have used Auto-RX, a friend of mine gave me a bottle to try and it really
worked, i had a paper thin tar looking coating (not sludge) inside the valve cover
and on the lifters i put the stuff in the oil and checked again at the next oil change.
I opened the cover and noticed that the tar was gone, another side effect was that
the oil pressure warning lamp went out a lot faster after i started the engine (was on
for about 2 sec before the treatment, 0.5 sec after)

seafoam is the bomb, and dont you think that something that costs a buck to make the car makers would use it to get past the feds on the gas mileage for the car? its a fad.

They just purport this stuff as being much better/different than Seafoam and I wondered how valid that was before spending $24 on a 12oz bottle of the Auto-RX.
