Default water out the exhaust. smells strong. tip black. plugs are black.

Hi i'm running a B16a2 in a eg. Mod are skunk2 cams\skunk2 valvetrain I\h\e with cat. I'm running a Chipped p28 with skunk2 program.
At idle there's a grey smoke that comes out. When i drive around it's a lite smoke that comes out the exhaust. It's not a headgasket or burning oil I did a wet\dry compression test. They're good. But as i tell someone to rev the motor and i stand in the back of the exhaust water jsut comes out like a river. It's not a normal water that comes out it's like someones is pouring water out of the exhaust. I pulled my plugs and they're all black burt. Can anyone tell me how to fix this or what's going on? -thanks

Do you have any mods to the fuel system, sounds like you're running extremely rich.

why did you bump this? We answered your question, your running uber rich, remove your egay ECU program and your set, no more rich

If the plugs are black, your burning somthing. They should be white.

white plugs indicate a lean burn condition, while black crusty plugs indicate a rich condition

My car was running so rich, I could smell the raw gas. But now I have a fuel controller to manage it, so hopefully no black plugs
