Question "Run-Rite" Fuel system cleaner>>>>

Has anyone here tried this product ?
It is made by a company in PA names C.A.T. Products. The kits are sold in Pep Boys among other stores. It is basically a 4 step process.
Step one: You pour a bottle of fuel system cleaner in your tank.
Step two: Pour a bottle of oil system treatment in your oil.
Step Three: Using an "installation kit" sold seperately, you run a bottle of intake cleaner fluid through your system.
Step Four: Is a spray can of throttle body/air intake cleaner.

My question is. Has anyone here used the product ? A friend of mine swears by it. He tells me he occasionaly has it done to his truck, and the improvement in power, fuel mileage, starting and general performance is remarkable.

I am interested in doing it to my 93 F150 4.9 myself, but that "sold seperately" installation kit is $75.00 at my local Pep Boys. The product kit alone is $50.00. If I were going to do this treatment for others then I guess the $75.00 for the install kit wouldn't be bad, but for just doing my own truck once a year or so, $75.00 seems a little steep.
If anyone here has used this product I would really appreciate your comments on it. And if anyone also knows where to get an installation kit for less then $75.00, that would be most appreciated also.
Apparently the install kit is a bottle/hose assy with metering valve inline. You put the fluuid in the bottle, attach the hose to a vacum source, hang the bottle, run the engine, meter the fluid at a fast drip pace for 12-20 minutes.
Their website is www.run-rite.com
Thanks for reading my post.
Dennis,
