Rolling coal.

Car just hit 40k miles. Been tuned since 30k. Pretty much everytime I give the old girl a little taste of wot everyone tells me it dumps out the black smoke lol I know it's normal for a lnf but how much is too much? I think my a/f is at 12.3 at wot and 14.5 cruising. I don't really give it too much maybe one or two good pulls a week so i figure that has something to do with it also.


Edit
I figure my choice of a basically straight 3" exhaust doesn't help the fact either lol
