Default Black Soot?

Setup:

D16Y8
GReddy 15g kit w/ blue box @ 7psi
ZEX Stage 2 Cam
Crower Valvetrain
AEM Fuel Rail with B&M FPR (fuel is turned up 10 psi at rail)
Landspeed racing testpipe
Apex'i N1 Catback exhaust

I've been boosted now for about 500 miles and there's tons of black soot on the back of my car. I was wondering if it were caused by too much fuel or oil consumption.

TIA

by the way you dont really have to worry about consumtion unless you have bluish color smoke coming out your exhauset. blue smoke is oil buring. and black smoke is unburned fuel or (running rich). (hense the black soot)

Ok that's what I was wanting to hear!!! I'd rather be running rich than running lean!
