As with the Seafoam, you have the very slowly induce it to avoid hydrolock.
I avoid this now and just run a car hard about once a week and it seems fine, even vehicles I own with horrid PCV systems clean up after a while with 'spirited' driving.

I agree, the same effect can be achieved by hand cleaning despite a bit more elbow grease. I'm not sure it is for shock as I'm not positive to the chemical formula (does it genuinely help carbon buildup?). If you introduce it too quickly I'm not sure hydrolock would be of primary concern since it is combustible, but the AFR would be all thrown off so you'd essentially be flooding the engine with fuel and not enough air since it is after the MAP/MAF sensor. An ITU really clears things up as well, and if you want a spotless plenum, carb cleaner plus a scrub brush will be the best bet.
