I have a 97 vortec 5.7 I just built and trying to save a few bucks where I can, I assume (that gets me in trouble sometimes) since it meets these gm specs, I should be able to run it. I tried looking up these specs but couldn't come up with a solid answer. I have ran green in just about everything with no problems, I have also ran CAT ext life red with no problems, but I'm not accessible to cat coolant for cheap anymore.
You will be fine using that coolant, Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) are for the "Wet Sleeves/Cylinder liners" Won't help nor hurt.
