Default Seafoaming an LT1

Ok, I know this has been discussed before but all the pictures have been from LS1 cars. Does anyone have an LT1 picture of where this brake booster line is, and how exactly I should go about putting the seafoam in it?

Thanks!

The brake booster line is the big one that goes from the middle drivers side of the intake manifold to the brake booster, if that isn't enough description please leave your hood closed because you are unqualified.

In the LT1 though that one line will not get you good distribution and you would only get a few cylinders well, I would suggest a few different vacuum lines from different areas of the intake, and maybe some with a spray bottle through the TB. The engine will run with the intake boot removed IF you unplug the MAF, it will set a CEL though. This would give you the best coverage of all cylinders rather than drowning 3 and 5 the way the brake booster only would. This would require you to let the motor die and sit repeatedly though once for each place you introduce the seafoam from.

put a tube and funnel on the passenger side of the TB and use the bottom nipple that is attached to the vacuum. Then dump in slowly and make sure the car doesnt die. Then i think after 1 1/2 - 2 cans you dump the rest of the seafoam and make the car die. Then let sit for 15min and while sitting go ahead and clean the TB.
Also dump a full can of seafoam in ur gas tank!

then start is up and watch the fun SMOKE show!!
