are you talking about the smoke and black liquid on the ground? the smoke looks like condensation and the black liquid looks to be sooty water. if you were burning oil it'd be blowing black smoke.

Haha thats a relief, wasnt sure what that water was. That was the day it arrived on the back of a truck after i brought it almost blind. I should have it on the road in a week or so, so am quite exite. Also, i read somewhere accelerating hard when not in gear is asking for trouble?

Actually black smoke is most likely a rich condition, and burning oil is going to give you blue smoke...

Rapping the throttle like that isn't going to hurt the engine, but standing on the gas pedal and red-lining the rpm's will.

I can confirm black smoke is rich condition. My stroker 88 as run rich forever, even after tons of different tunes to try to solve it (should pull that injection crap off i guess, but oh well).
