Probably the seafoam. How long has it been since you did that?

It should get back to its normal self pretty soon after it clears out all the gunk.

well I never did put it in the crankcase, so that would not come in contact with the oil, it was just injested through the brake booster line slowly

I don't think seafoam itself is anything but good for the running engine, but its cause & effect can endup with a catalytic converter that's been clogged.

Or possibly the plugs weren't gapped correctly, and unable to supply adequate spark.

I've personally never used seafoam, but from everyone I've read of using it always said to change the plugs AFTER using seafoam, not before. Maybe that is part of your problem.
