Well, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this, because I'm trying to do this before I take it for it'* duely needed oil change, cause I know you're supposed to change the oil and sparks afterwards...

About 1/3-1/2 the can, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, then ran it around the neighborhood til the white smoke was gone. Wasn't too dense, but it was there.

I was wondering about seafoam to, will it work just fine if I put it in the gas tank?

I have to say that it has definitely improved the performance of my Bonne. Not a giant amount, but definitely noticeable. Seems my engine was pretty clean. However, when I used it in the fuel tank, there was a sizeable difference in efficiency.

After you let it soak, it will be hard to start because the cylinders will have the seafoam in it. Thats ok, keep turning the key and once it catches hit the rev a little bit higher than idle so it wont stall out again and keep it there for a minute. When you add that rev, you should start to see heavy smoke billow out from the tailpipes, so much so that you may need to hold it there for 2 minutes before the smoke dies down, then take it out for a spirited run.
This procedure is especially recommended for the Northstar powered cars since they are a magnet for carbon. It will also help reduce oil consumption.

I tried Seafoam on my old Bonne and now I swear by it.
On a side note the Seafoam Trans Tune is awesome stuff too, I used it before doing a transmission flush and it really cleaned things out.
