That's the issue i worry about, even when i use the CRC cleaner, is intake pooling. It could pool in the intake, you go out for a drive, and when you really step on it, there is enough flow to pull a lot of the liquid into the closest cylinder to the pooled cleaner, and bam! Busted piston or connecting rod from hydrolock.
I have used the CRC intake valve cleaner in the mazda. But i only used 1/2 a can, not the whole thing, for fear of pooling. After it sat an hour i went for a 10-15 mile drive, but i did not let it rev over 3k.
I was used the GDi cleaning spray every other oil change at roughly 10% so I could get 10x usage. Looked good at 200k on the Hyundai. I think the prevention maintenance is the best action to take.
