Default SeaFoaming a LT-5

Anyone here ever used a product called SEAFOAM motor treatment for their ZR-1? This product has a reputation of really cleaning up carbon and valve deposits in the engine with noticable results.

Figured I would ask before I try it.

Sea Foam is a quality product. I prefer the BG44k treatment myself.

However, I have not used it on the LT-5, only my other Corvettes and a Lexus. I tend to stay away from alot of cleaners on account of the early fuel injectors etc.

I just romp on mine so that I don't get alot of carbon build up

I'm sure you would be fine with the Sea Foam, I've used it plenty of times, just not on the LT-5.

Same as above. The LT5 is the only motor I own that SeaFoam does not get used in. The LT5 dosen't get all carboned up easily like other engines and a regular 7K blast keeps the combustion chamber clean.

What is come's down too is the LT5 dosent need SeaFoam.
