Under heavy acceleration I can smell gas and big puffs of black smoke come out the exhaust. Can a chip help with this problem or do i need to adjust FP levels? Reason I say this i read a post regarding the same thing but there was really no answer. ITs a thumbwheel chip for SMC alky. Chip is by damn gorgot his name, he out of Flint MI. He made the alky kit. Its an adjustable chip though. Who else makes a good chip for alky?
 
Steve has the 40's pretty down pat. I doubt you have a chip issue. I would go ahead and find a cause for your driveability with the CAR not the cal.
 
me too

I was hoping it was normal, under average throttle I have no smoke. When I hammer down, I do get a fair amount of black/gray smoke. My o2's are in the high 700's usually, So I don't think i'm rich. I figure it's just alot of fuel being burnt quick to push this 3800 lb sled down the road in a BIG hurry. :D

As for the gas smell, Maybe it's some blow by under high boost coming out of the breathers and finding it's way to your nose via the vents?
