Clouds of black smoke upon acceleration

Rafael, I agree with John. Definitly a boost leak. I think you went a little overboard with 10 psi. It would have been better to slowly increase the boost from say 6 or 7. I'm running about stock, 7-8, and it's just fine for my old ultra low friction engine. If I increase it too much, I might throw a rod. I'm thinking of a replacement engine.
