Default Problems with setting VAFC

mods:
apexi BB turbo,
Apexi twin chamber bov
vafc
RC 370cc injectors
intercooler
Holley fuel pump
Rsr catback
d16z6
I have changed the vafc settings and really can not find a good setting. I have checked to make sure that it is all hooked up right, and it looks good and proper to me. The car will idle, and will have black smoke comming out of the exhaust (fuel) but even when i turn down the vafc settings, i still smoke. I have even tried setting it at idle to -50, and it still smokes!!! Anyone have any ideas on what i could do?
Also, after the car warms up, it done now hold idle

TTT, I need help too regarding the same situation, but I don't know what I'm doing, just playing around with it. Does anyone have good setup to recommend.

Thanks

370cc is too much for the vafc to control. i used to have 310cc on my Y8 motor and it is to the point where my engine will stall due to fuel flooding out the spark plug. even with -50 on my fuel controller and setting off CEL's.May you can advance the timing a little, but since your boosting that might not be a great idea. But i know the Hondata will fix this problem(black smoke).

ok everything you said made no sense. and i guess thats why tons of people are running 440 and 450cc injectors with the hack and dont have a problem

other than black smoke what makes you think you are running to rich? if you ask me the black smoke doesnt mean too much, do you stall or bog out? feel sluggish? oil smell like fuel? i really think you should bring your car down and have someone tune it with a wideband so you know exatcly where you stand .
