Pretty sure its a vaccuum leak. I say this because i did the seafoam treatment all around. Whem i did it to the vaccumm smoke started coming up througj the motor somewhere.

If this isnt the cause what else can it be...
fuel injectors, fuel filter?

It has gotten progressively worse the past month. Taking it to the shop friday.

How did you introduce the treatment to the car? Gas tank? Add to oil? Throttle body? Vacuum hose somewhere?

What were the car symptoms before you used this?

I did all of them.

When on the highway , when i would start accerlating past 70 (racing someone), i noticed it would start kicking ever so slightly. this was about 2 months ago.

You would need to change the oil and filter, run the treated gas out and then change the fuel filter, change or clean the sparkplugs. Look into how old the plug wires are. Seafoam looks to produce alot of smoke. Vacuum leak is possible but it could also be smoke getting out at the exhaust gasket where it meets the y pipe, or it could be an oil leak that has crazy stuff added to it and it smokes as it drips onto hot exhaust.
