Question slowly workin on my tune up..wondering about engine cleaners

ok heres what i have done...

2 oil changes (mobile 1 and fram oil filter)
air filter (fram for now)
spark plugs
cleaned intercooler (found it was leaking, getting the 10 row with adaptor plate)
fuel filter

now i've put the lucas injector/top end cleaner in the gas tank, i like i'll do it every 3rd tank or so. but after i get the new intercooler in i want to make sure the cylenders are clean and pretty much get everything clean,and all the crap that the leaking intercooler could have built up. would ya'll recommend the lucas engine oil additive? just want it to be in the best shape i can get it. it has 107,000 miles on it and i'm not sure how well it was taken care of. it runs great but i know it can be better not wanting to do mods just yet but i want everything tip top and ready for them when i do. any suggestions? thanks in advanced jesse

Berryman B12 is good to add to the gas tank. OH, and fram oil filters are poo. Stick with motorcraft (aka Wix).

so nobody has any info or input on what would be good to get the engine internals to the best they can be? is there a way to check the cats and o2 sensors? i'm sure they're messed up from the leaking intercooler

I agree
OR
C-16 and Nitrous (Spray the schitt out of it)
(nitrous and race fuel leave a motor and exhaust spotless )


AND their right @ the Frame Filter, it's a POS take it out and throw in garbage
Look inside and you will see it DOES NOT have the spring and Ball (check valve thingy)
