I found it on FCPGroton and wonder if it will help, hinder, or worse...

Any and all opinions will help!

I have tried Techtron, RedLine S2 and others in a Prelude that sat for a year and a half. The fuel system was gummed up pretty bad - stalling, hesitating, lack of power, poor starting etc. And this was a car with only 45,000 miles on it. Those products helped some, but it still did not run properly.

Then I tried Seafoam. Didn't "fog" the engine because I was sure my problem was not dirty valves but more likely a fuel system issue. Instead, I did a few treatments just by adding to a few tanks of gas at their suggested maximum concentration. Incredible difference! I think that stuff is magic. Not cheap at around 9 bucks for 16 oz., but that is all I'll use from now on.

Tried it in my 745T (145K mi) and that seems smoother and more responsive. It's not night and day like the Prelude, but the 745 was never sitting as long in storage.

I have used this from Autozone as well as the Techtron. Seem to work about the same.
