Also, that's not how you use the GM Top Engine Cleaner. You are supposed to remove all spark plugs. Pour the Top Engine Cleaner into each cylinder. Let it sit overnight. Then put a rag on top of the engine and crank it until all gunks are out of the plug holes. Then put the plugs back in. Yea, like you said, it will smoke like a grandmofo for a while.
I think it's easier to just buy a Toyota. (Ex-GM owner here.)

From your posts, look like you got a 1995 ES300 with air intake, dropped and 18'' rims.
You may need to check or get a reading of your O2 sensors to see how fast your O2( both banks) respone. Also, check your EGR system as well.
How's your emission reading?
