Profile up to date. Current compression roughly 140 across the board. Car has NO catalytic converter. At idle you can place hand in front of exhaust and collect black particles despite running 14.7/1 AFR @ idle. Also, as mentioned above there is a noticeable poof of black smoke when shifting and boost. Oil dipstick never gets pushed up.
I just started noticed this on the long drive to and from Shootout, and want to try and figure it out. I've searched and it looks like there are at least a couple things I need to do. Would this be a good checklist for this problem? ...
