$10 can of Seafoam sprayed into your intake manifold to soak up the oil deposits that have been accumulating in manifold for 100,000 miles.
Hopefully it will retard less timing when you go WOT, and give you a little HP back.

Pushing 100k miles of gunk out of your throttle body/ intake manifold and into your valves/combustion chamber/cats/exhaust? No thanks....
If you are going to clean something, do it right. Remove your throttle body/intake manifold, clean them correctly and then put them back on.

I use EFILIVE tuning software--In my opinion the best offrered----More money than HP TUners but much better and easier to figure out---

It is called a "high stall torque converter".
It allows the engine to rev higher before you begin to move.
I would imagine the stock converter has a stall speed of 2000 rpms and a higher stall speed of 3000 would allow the engine to get into the powerband almost instantly.
For lack of better terminology, it allows your transmission to slip more, to keep the rpms higher, akin to slipping the clutch more if you were manual.
