Quick Seafoam Question!

arite... i just used seafoam on my car today and had my brake booster vaccuum line to the manifold suck the stuff out of a cup. i waited like 30 minutes and went out and rev'd it up and drove it around for about 10 minutes (until all the white smoke stopped pouring out - and there was A LOT!!). so i have another bottle of seafoam here that i didn't use. is it a bad idea to do the same thing again tomorrow or in like a week to make sure the seafoam got everything? is it like the type of thing you do a couple of times in a row to ensure it's clean? or is it so tough on the engine that it isn't good to do more than once in a blue moon? hope this isn't a repost . thanks!

well, here is what I think (not a fact) I have done sea foam in this car 3 times already, once just before every oil change....
the reason why I did it, more then once, is because I did a sea foam on newer maximas and they barely got any smoke out of the their exaust.... and so I belive that as long as I still get alot of smoke coming out of mine there is still a carbon build up in my engine...

Now funny thing is, I did a seam foam yesterday (I serious) and there was smoke; but not as much as I had the time before and no where near the first time I did it....
and the good news:
I drove today to see how the car felt... and the funny thing it... it feels smoth... usualy at WOT I can feel small jerky pushs when acelerating... and today I felt a smoth acceleation in every gear...
BTW I also did a oil change with mistery oil (3rd time) and put sume on the gas tank.

resume:
1 seam foam
2 oil change
3 1 quart of mistery oil
4 mistery oil in the gas tank

I wouldn't bother. Use it more of a every now and again thing.
