If you didn't give texas speed the 42lb injector spec the tune will be way off. You probably only need 30lbs but step number 1 is get it tuned - black smoke means your fuel ratios are way off - and not only is it robbing power but it's not good for the engine.

Its in the tune. I have SVO 42's in my car, no black smoke. Really need to get it tuned with a wide band O2 sensor.
Mail order is going to be a little on the rich side to play it safe. Dont want to lean it out.

i figured that i need a tune but the closest place from where i live is speedinc which is 6 hours away, and the way i see it drive 6 hours for a tune which could cause my car to crap out. that 6 hours is to far away in case something happens.

Call TSP, see what they say. See what software they use. Maybe you can find a local to do some data logs with a wideband and send them to TSP to correct the tune some.
