Sooty tailpipe
My tailpipe is a bit more sooty than I think it should be. This signals to me that it is "rich". How could having a larger exhaust & free-flowing intake create a rich condition?
Could it be scavenging too much? Why that would throw a wrench in many people's thinking that the factory Y (which I don't have) and the factory exhaust help in scavenging...
With only 25K on the clock I suspect nothing is amiss elsewhere.
Could it be all those WOT (Wide Open Throttle) runs I do daily? If so, then so be it...I just love the sound of my V10 over 4K RPM.

Mine is too...
I think it's just all the dents in the floor I've been making. That dang pedal is in the way...

So your exhaust is sooty? Can you wipe off the inside with your finger and think that maybe you own a diesel instead? My other gassers are clean by comparison.

No soot on my pipe! I use tp !!!!!!!!!!! 
Monsta do you still have the cats on your exhaust?
you don't have the Y pipe in there ?
It would be interesting to know what your plugs look like (color) brown or white/tan
do you have a scanner to look at fuel trims while running ?
If you had done a expierment to see stock fuel trims ,then read them after mods you might be suprised at what they are now!
