Unhappy Installed SCMT yesterday...Problems Already

I installed a SCMT yesterday, and I am already having a few problems.

1.Black smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe.

2.Tires spinning uncontrollably.

3.Fuel hand dropping FAST.

4.My foot can't leave the floor.

Is anyone else having any of the above problems? What can I do to solve these problems? Any help would be appreciated.

Tim

P.S.-I love this thing.

I think if you'll run a tank of ethyl (high-test gasoline, for you youngsters) through it, you'll clear those problems right up.

Glad you are enjoying your ride.

The only solution I have come up with is a charge account at the local tire store.

As they say "when the black smoke(exhaust) turns white(tire spin) that is when you start making power "
