Black smoke under hard throttle

I have a 94 Z w/LTs no cats and a tune. Under hard throttle I get black smoke (not blue) but not all the time. Is this normal? I notice it if I don't get on it for awhile then I punch it around 55 mph or so.

Also I want to install a oil pres. gauge but not for sure where the best place to tap into. Ang suggestions?

Sounds RICH.
You can get the oil pressure from behind the intake or above the oil filter.

If the Motors in the car, above the oil filter would be your best bet. Thats where I had mine.

Actually it's easier to see it at night when I'm in front of somebody with there headlights on. I thought I've been having problems with my regulator anyway.
