^+1 That is likely all you are seeing is a bit of excess fuel. I don't suppose you have a wideband, OP.

haha i know u guys gonna say its normal but let me explain further.
the black smoke is not just a puff after letting off the throttle. its a good few secs of trailing smokes when im off the throttle.i feel like the throttle position is not properly close when im off the throttle. so its still feeding fuel when i decelerate. i have a video recording of it on a track. will upload to YouTube soon.

my A/F is roughly 11.8 then lower towards the end

BLOW BY!
new rings/re-hone job!
might as well toss some forged pistons and rods while you got your motor apart.

if it is tuning,.. then you might want to find another tuner.
