Start car, put trans in sport mode,tap downshift buttondo it shows m1,, turn off all nannies, hold the brake then romp the throttle and hold the brake kinda riemly, at 6k tap the upshift to second gear, manual mode still rev to 6k then take your foot off the brake and let her rip!! Do this once or twice and your good !!! Then go to get new tires for the rear after many of these. lol

We really don't have a carbon issue on the LS3/L99. It's the LLT/LFX direct injection V6 guys that need to stay on top of this.
Our valves tend to stay clean by design of port injection. Just install a catch can, run a quality high octane fuel, and change your oil often.

Italian tune up - crank it cold and peg it to the floor. Let it bounce on the rev limiter for a couple of seconds then proceed normally on your way.
