WOW i just seafoamed my car. after thinking, i decided to do a seafoam experiment. here is the list of run down what i did.
step1
when engine was nice and cold, i added half can of seafoam into the engine.
step2
drove to near gas station and put whole can of seafoam into the gas tank and filled it with 93 ocatne fuel
step3
when back to my house and added that first half can of seafoam into brake booster hose.
step4
after 20mins i started and let it sit there for another 10min and drove. like a mad man.
there was SMOKE EVERYWHERE.. (WHITE) i made a thick *** cloud above my neighborhood and God was pissed cuz mine looked hella lot better than his.
result, my car seems to be lil bit better throttle response and thatz about it.
after 100miles ill do the oil change and see what happens.

i know some stuff that blows seafoam out of the water and cleans up what seafoam left behind, gauranteed. 
Made by AMSoil
Power foam- half the can through the throttle body with the car off. Let sit for 3-5mins.
Turn the car on let idle for 5 min(do not rev)
While car is running take brake booster line spray the other half while car is running dont touch the gas..wait till its all been sucked up...wait three mins...and then go get on it...man pure black smoke after my seafoam treatment that was 2 months ago..
Then pour in AMSoil P.I. in ur fuel tank then fill up on premium..helps ALOT with gas mileage on my cammed car.
Trust me its worth trying.

You sure the amsoil stuff is ok to pour down the booster hose the website says this.
Spray on area to be treated. Rinse from exterior engine surfaces. No need to rinse from carburetors or other interior engine surfaces. Avoid contact with hoses. To prevent the dissolving of paint, do not overspray. AMSOIL Power Foam is not recommended for use in diesel engines.

I would just like to add that the PI really is a great gasoline additive. I put it in the Silverado and it really does take the start up rattle away. I treat about every third or forth tank of gas.

As for the Powerfoam in the booster line, you are at your own risk. I do not doubt that this would have some MAJOR cleaning effect. This stuff is a STRONG cleaner. I have seen this stuff sprayed on carbon covered snowmobile exhaust power valves and piston tops and it makes the carbon simply wipe off.

I do highly recommend the PI additive. I always thought additives were monkey business but this one I have experienced it working.
