The amount of smoke will depend on how carbon'd up your car was in the first place. I just ran seafoam through mine a couple days ago as well. Not a lot of smoke... some... but not a lot. I took it out on a freeway and accelerated it hard a couple of times up to 120 km/hr which produced some smoke, but other than that, the car ran pretty well already.

Some people get amazing amounts of smoke blowing. Others don't. There's no exact amount of smoke to be expecting.
