Ever hear of "GM upper end cleaner" ?
I'm told you buy this at a GM dealer. You run your engine and warm it up...then pour the cleaner in slowly while running. Then shut the motor off for at least 20 minutes. Then start it up and all of the carbon is suppose to be expelled for the cylinders and pistons out through the exhaust. Anyone know anything about this ?

It's called top end cleaner (part number 000001 or something like that).
Works great if done right, removes carbon from the top end and won't hurt the injectors. Once you find a line with constant vacuum the tough part is keeping the engine running long enough to suck the bottle down. Good luck with it.

Bobby's right.
It's an age-old trick that works! A fine-mist sprayer is the key. It's like steam-cleaning your carpet...kinda...well, not really...
It attacks carbon by cooling it rapidly, it then flakes off and disolves.

djm has it right......you can also go to NAPA and get sea-foam........Dodge also has their version of it but cant remember the name off hand.
As for runnning it through the engine on a car....best place i have found for a good vacume source is to pull the power brake assist hose and pour it through there......or if you have a PCV valve hose attachment on the intake hose thats another good place.......only remember NOT to introduce the chemical into the intake before the MAF consor!!!
