Black smoke is from running rich, or carbon build up. If you drive a lot in the city then take it and run it hard it will blow black smoke bc of the carbon build up.

it could be bad if you begin to run too rich.. the 240cc's arent too small.

you put the cams in without tuning? get your *** on the dyno and tune it. yes if you tune it correctly it wont run rich.

edit: or as rich
