using fuel additives to clean carbon

Fuel additives won't clean DI intake valves, but it will keep injectors clean.
That said, using top tier fuel mostly negates the need for any fuel additives.

Your 3.5L requires 93 octane? Is it modified and tuned for 93?

Yep. The manual calls For 93.. Or greater than 91. Well all we have around here is 93. I saw a lady with a Brand New 14 Altima 3.5 with 30 day tags on it.. She said and I quote," my car is running terrible. And the guy inside said I have to run premium." She found out the hard way. And that could have been costly.
Using Shell premium 93 you would never need to add any extra pea, that stuff is loaded.
Interesting thought on the lady's 3.5... I was under the impression that modern EFI systems can easily compensate for 87 octane and retard timing at the expense of just a few ponies when premium is required.

Tell ya the Gospel truth man... She was rather unsure and upset. Yeah I read my manual whenever I get a car that is new to me. My car runs awesome and I push her hard.
If that lady had jacked up plugs.. Then she would paid for it herself.. Voided her warranty. All they would have to do is pull a plug and tell she was running the wrong gas. Now maybe I could be wrong on this.. But I sure wouldn't want to play that by chance.

Us redline or techron injector cleaner through a vacuum line to clean valves, pistons etc..
