Default Winter Storage

I have a 1999 camaro ss and its been put away since thanksgiving. I put fuel stabilizer in it, actually i put a little extra in it to make sure i get no water (it said you can do that for extra long storage) I recently heard that camaro's will carbon up. my questions are with me putting it away till about april and having fuel stabilizer in it do i have to worry about it car-boning up? and will i lose any horsepower or have an extra chance of mechanical failure once i get it out in the spring? any help is greatly appreciated.

The engine does not build up any carbon while it is not running. You may want to give it an oil change before firing it up in the spring to get rid of any moisture that accumulated during the winter.
