Default Help with rich tune/funny running.

Ok here's the story, I will try to explain what I have noticed of my car.

All mods were done by previous owner, I added nothing. Untuned.

Why is it at idle, sometimes, the car seems to have a random misfire. It's not constant and it doesn't always happen. Say out loud 'dududududu-blub-dudududu-blub-dudu-blub'> Thats how it idles occasionally.

Also, when I take off hard from a stop or 60 punch(where the shift is hard) a huge cloud of dark brownish smoke is left behind me at the shift.

Also, if I am taking off, even if not at WOT, if I pull the RPM's up to 3500 it seems like the engine 'smooths' out acceleration at about 3700rpm. Hard to explain I guess but its like something else it cutting out letting it run smoother after 3700rpm(A/C is off during tests.)

I honestly think my car feels slow, not compared to my old V6 but it seemed like it took me just over 6 seconds to 60 with very very little spin! I thought maybe it was the hevier rims and tires but damn!

Any ideas?! I also have 02 SIMS, should I get real ones? Maybe all new 02's?

Oh when I changed my plugs they were pretty black BTW. And I couldnt get #8 off.
