Default my car is running rich???

i did an ls/vtec swap. know i think my car is running rich. my oil got black in 800 miles after i changed it. yesterday i changed the oil, oil filter and spark plugs. when i started it up it spit out black smoke when i revved it up to 7000 rpm. when i did the swap i put an odb 1 computer that is reading codes. when i put my stock computer it reads no code. i also have an vafc2 to control my vtec. i don't know what to do. i don't think theres enough fuel getting to the motor. does anyone have any suggestion?

first thing you should do is ditch the vafc and chip your ecu. then have someone burn you a basemap.

however, actual tuning with a wideband and dyno time is the only way to get your engine running correctly.

there are two shops in hawaii that tunes hondata. you dont necessarily need a dyno to get a good tune.
