I can personally attest to a smoother idle after a treatment through the vacuum booster hose.
I've used it in Civics, my trucks and my Datsun. Not all of them make a huge smoke show, but they all seem to be just a little happier after a treatment.
I don't have a spare engine to run on a stand and tear down just to figure out for sure what if anything it does, but at 7 bucks a can, I can stand to do it every year or so.

grabbed a can for $9.99 tonight. Gonna use my exploder as a Guinea pig.
I've watched a few vids on youtube and it seems there a mild differences in how people use this stuff. Does it matter how full your gas tank is it you add it there? I know with other fuel system or injector cleaner. It seems the best thing do to do is take a long drive afterward.
If i did gas tank, vacuum booster hose & engine oil, would it make sense to wait for it to finish smoking, then drive to Chicago and back 120 miles (240 round trip), and change the oil upon return? This would also burn through a full tank of fuel.

This guy does the portions a little differently but if you want to use just 1 can of seafoam you can do 1/3 in tank, 1/3 in oil, and 1/3 through brake booster vacuum hose.

It doesnt really matter. Putting it in the tank is just to slowly work on cleaning up your injectors over however long it takes to use up the tank you added the seafoam to.

Found this on the seafoam website:
Normal gasoline grades (including 10% and 15% ethanol blends)
1 oz. Sea Foam Motor Treatment per gallon of gasoline
Can mix up to 2 oz. per gallon of gasoline if necessary. Mixing at less than 2/3 oz. per gallon will impair the effectiveness of Sea Foam.
Diesel fuel (including low sulfur and ultra-low sulfur blends)
1 oz. Sea Foam Motor Treatment per gallon of diesel fuel
Can mix up to 2 oz. per gallon of fuel if necessary. Mixing at less than 2/3 oz. per gallon will impair the effectiveness of Sea Foam.
