I have an 08 gt that throws little black smoke when i rev it. I have heard that it may be running rich. Is this a major problem and also can i get specific instructions on how to fix it myself. Thank you.

does it have a slightly rough idle? My guess goes to a dead coil.

Idle is great. The car runs perfect also.

it may be running a bit rich. is it throwing any codes for the front O2 sensors? mine was doing the same thing. it had a rough idle on cold start and would blow black smoke out the exhaust. turned out that brenspeed sent my tune for a 90mm MAF instead of the 80mm MAF that i have. Once i installed the new tune, it ran great.

Probably a little rich due to the aftermarket 91 tune....no worries if she is not throwing codes and runs smooth and well at any throttle position!
