What do you mean by "one cylinder is black"? I am confused here.

abacus did everything but wheel bearings and ball joints. inner tie rods and rear motor mount still need to be done.

no i dont know who seth is. i didn't go with any aftermarket controller. no standalone. only thing i have right this second is a fuel pressure guage. i would have a vafc to tune though. what else do i need to tune then??? and what specs do you want,??? I think the necessary engine specs are posted.

very noticeable. does it sound like piston rings or something like that??? oh yeah, and black smoke out my exhaust when i punch it( friends noticed that).
i think it is rich because of the black residue on my rear bumper and ass piece. what else would this be from??? the carbon from my piston ring being gone???

Smoke colors:

Blue = oil
White = coolant
Black = too much gas
Yellow = fire

...the last one is good for tailgaters.
