Sounds like you're running too rich. I had the same problem before with mine. The oil was full of fuel. Part of mine was the stock fuel pressure regulator. So verify that you don't have a mechanical problem first. If you have LT1 Edit or Tunercat then you can play with your injector constants a little to back it down. Mine still has some black smoke at WOT which someone indicated might be EVAP purge solenoid purging the tank. However, sounds like you're just flat out rich here.
