Ok guys, fritz does have a valid point about engine break-in period. Thanks, fritz.

But the smoke is definately black. As for the vaccum line for the fuel pressure regulator, there are two ports under the upper intake(Trickflow). I don't remember off hand which one I connected them to, but I don't it matters since they both lead into the same port, or does it?

The cam thats in there is a truck cam, 444 lift. That will change as soon as I get new heads for it. I didn't add any kind of additives to the fuel and every component on the engine is new.

I also thought maybe that the plug gap might be wrong too, I have them gapped to 045. They were gapped to 080!

Thanks guys for all the input!
