So my friend was following me and he said that...wait..let me clarify first. I have an 05" ss/sc with a stage 2 kit. Okay...now he was following me and I got on it and he said there was black smoke coming out. I just did an oil change before I deployed and my car wasn't driven the whole time I was gone...so.

I'm just curious as to what my fellow ss/sc'ers say. Should I be worried? Doesn't seem like I'm losing power at all...Suggestions, ideas? Thanks for any input guys.

How long were you deployed?

Black smoke usually means some sort of knock

no, black smoke means your are running rich, I'd check your spark plugs for starters.

Yeah, I've heard that about the tune. I was deployed for 5 months. I appreciate the advice guys! Sorry I didnt respond quicker...busy week for me.
