Nah sounds like his warp drive is low on anti matter. Or maybe he needs a new set of dilithium crystals??

Gawd I'm such a nerd

Have you noticed any new noises coming from the engine? Any lack of power? Any other signs of issues basically?
evo's run rich... you'll notice your brand new evo will do the same. it's just a big Puff of black smoke when you stomp on it.. then it goes away. every evo ive seen in my city seems to do it.. if it looks like a bully dog diesel then there's a problem..

I'm tuned in low 11 AFR's, and I dont make any black smoke. Even when the car was pig rich untuned with A/F's in the mid 10's bottoming out the lowest reading on my aem wideband, I still have never seen smoke. I have a full 3" exhaust with no cat. Maybe it does come out, and I just cant see through my tinted windows. I would actually want some black smoke to come out just to sleep better.

LOL the variation of responses in this order made me laugh.




Too much black smoke can be a problem too. I mean we all know the factory X tune is WAY rich. But can't hurt to think about getting a tune and datalog.
