Seafoam is a good product when put in gas tank.
It works as a PVC cleaner but ,is really just displacing oil that has accumulated and is sitting on the bottom of the intake. That is why the motor smokes so much when it's used that way.
When I took my TB off to port I shined a flashlight inside the intake and oil was pooled up on the bottom. I put on a PVC catch can and that solved the problem.

CCA a vendor on this site has the catch can you want. It's easy to put on. You can use seafoam to clean oil out of intake or just pull off TB and sop oil out with a clean rag as I did. I don't think the extra oil hurts anything, you just have to be sure to check oil level frequently ,especally if you run it at high RPM. You could always upgrade to improved LS6 pvc system. Hope this helps
