What fuel system treatments, and internal engine cleaners work the best??

I use that GB 44K fuel system treatment and it seems to work great, but any other suggestions? Also, what other chemicals can I run through the car to get it running its best?

In my experience the best internal engine cleaner is a good tune, good working computer , and a good highway drive.
As an anecdote, the 350 in my 85 was severly carboned up at one point from driving for a long time with a shot tps (which w/ CCCS easily goes undetetced.) Once i got it runnning right again, and with all teh highway driving i did, the inside of that thing was pristine.
