Holy SMOKE!!

I have an '04 TL that I'm thinking hasn't been taken care of too well by the previous owner so I'm doing everything I can to bring it up to my standards.

Well I've been reading about the sea foam and I did it a couple times in my gas tank and then decided today to do the vacume line too.

I put a can in the vacume line on top of the air intake and let it sit the required 10-15 min. Then I started it up and let the idle set and left to go blow all the crap out.

Well, some people say they don't get much smoke and others say they get a little, but when I was leaving my driveway, the smoke was SO thick I couldn't even see behind me!! It was unbelievable!! So I did the 20-60 runs and 4K RPM for about 15 min to clean everything out. After that I looked in the throttle body flap inside to see what it looked like. Previously it was all black and now I can tell that some of that has been removed, but there is still a lot of black in there.

Do ya think I should hit it again or is this one time good enough? It must have done a lot since there was TONS of smoke! It was kinda embarasing there was so much.
