puffs of black smoke
I have been told that I kick out puffs of black smoke at WOT. Well now I can see what people are talking about. So now my question- is it the rings I should be looking at or am I getting worked up over nothing.
Here is the video of my car on the dyno a couple months ago.

I know it is fuel related, but I was always told that puffs of black smoke is bad= rings.
I don't think that it could be runnign too rich as I am still using the stock injectors and they are at 97% duty cycle. I am getting a the racetronics system, and some 42or 60 pounders in the upcoming month.

Typical for LS1's to smoke a little at WOT. Everyone that I know of does from time to time. Even my old LT1 did it sometimes. Just make sure your not to rich, if your A/F is good, I wouldn't worry. Sometimes if a car sits, or is babied, the first time you romp on it you will get some black smoke as well.

Well I used to baby it a little too much, but since I have a DD, when I do take it out I take it to redline everytime.
I have ran seafoam, changed the pcv valve, and it has gotten a little better but still only kicks it at WOT. I do lose some oil as well, it is kind of hard to see in the vid, but there is some white/blueish smoke as well.
I just want to be sure, before I spend some money on go fast parts, when i should be putting money toward a new motor.

So should I just step up and get some heads then. I have been thinking of getting some, and if it could solve the problem it would be well worth it.
I wouldn't think it is running rich as it still has stock injectors.

It stays at a consistent 13.1 across the board.
I Think that I am going to pony up and get the racetronics kit and a set of 42's. I would need it for another engine anyhow, if this doesn't work.
