If you are asking for exact numbers on HP reduction over given number of years then there is no way to give that exact data due to different driving styles , and a myriad of other factors.

And you say they are not necessary and i was asking you for your specific proof why they are not? Seen plenty of videos of oil puddles in LT4 superchargers
But you can't point to ONE example of an LT1 with deposits of any consequence.

I do agree driving habits matter, IMO it's a good idea to operate the engine at higher rpms and/or on the highway for a while to get the temps up so deposits don't accumulate.

Dude from Elite doesn't seem to post on this anymore. IDK why?
