compression test results...

been having blackish smoke comming out when at wot above 5k rpm...so did a compression test: 215 across all cylinders

what could the smoke be? the engine is a d16y7 w/ 75000 miles on her
no oil deposits on plugs/ tanish color.... could i be running rich? stock engine w/ intake and 2 1/4 cat back

you might have a leaky injector. try fuel injector cleaner. new fuel filter.
