Things I've noticed
Black Smoke anywhere in the power band
More power when cold advanced is on, less smoke.

I am going to assume the fuel screw is messed with. Also would it being out of time (retarded) have anything to do with this too? Time for new IP and injectors?

Compression is good, better then my old 480k mile 7.3l that ran like a scolded dog. Biggest thing right now is i dont have any gauges.

I wouldnt say bad ip or injectors, id mess with the fuel first and see if you can dial it down without loosing much power. Is it turbo? If NA with pump turned up it will roll bad.

Its a factory turbo motor.

I think I am going to try to move the timing. I am going to try to advance the timing as above said, see if that helps.

What is your boost doing? Is there a leak in the turbine or compressor side robing your engine of the air needed to burn the fuel? Air filter good? Got a pyro?

Could be bad up or crossover pipe, maybe a hole in one or bad seal, or exhaust manifold too.

I have found my issue. It no longer rolls mass amounts of coal. I switch from using my rear tank to the front, and all the above stopped. I believe I am pulling air from the rear setup. No smoke on front tank at all even at wide open throttle. It will smoke some at lower RPMS if I floor board it.
