black smoke on hard acceleration

I'm getting lots of black smoke, as in a large cloud, on heavy acceleration. Any thoughts as to whut could be causing this?

I'm running a G-force ECU with intake, DP, MP, and CB if that matters.

Black smoke is always a good thing. Too rich, can't do anything but foul your plugs. if it turns white or blue, now u need to worry.

I ran a G-Force with the same setup as you and also had big clouds of black smoke. It ran really rich.

I have a G-Force also. If i haven't boosted for a little while, it will puff out some smoke for the first hard run, but after that trhe smoke is not very heavy.
