Yesterday while I was going to town I was gettin on it, and I hit rev limiter on my truck. Right as soon as I did, it blew a crap load of black smoke out the tailpipe. I was wondering if this is bad?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

I can only guess at this. The rev limiter defuels, the boost drops, and then it fuels again with no or low boost. No boost (air) means lotsa smoke.
