How many miles on her?Did you warm her up before you took off?Did you press the brake before shifting into different positions?(Thats pressing the brake and comming to a full stop then shifting)
I have had this happen to me once in my 4.7L and it never happened again.

Has it done it frequently or is this the first? If its the first run it for a while and see if it does it again.Let her warm up a bit,it should help out.

Becareful with that seafoam stuff.Blew a head gasket on my honda civic because of it.Seafoam sometimes desolves the carbon that may have kept a seal which actually did good for your engine.Try running your engine for a few hundred miles and see how it works.
