Got a question for the forum,I have a 95 w/LT1 motor and a procharger, when I start it up when its cold it will start to overload an d black smoke and what not, just for the first few minutes till it warms up a bit then runs fine afer that.My concern is the fuel mixing with the oil,why does it do this and what can I do to correct it

more info needed, are you running a FMU with the procharger kit? if so this may have something to do with it.

if it is tuned through the ECM it sounds like your warm up enrichment table needs to be adjusted, pretty simple fix if you have tuning software. if not you can take it to a shop and have them adjust your cold start tables and cure the problem.

There are a number of reasons it could do that.... What size are your injectors, do you use an FMU, what is your fuel pressure, who tuned your ECU, can you have the tools to see if the black smoke clears when the ECU goes from open loop to closed loop, so you have any oily film on the MAF sensor that takes a few seconds to burn off, etc., etc.?

Ummmm, I guess its NOT a big block then.

Sounds like warm up enrichment from the limited info provided. Double check that your ECT sensor is ok. When mine came unplugged it would pour out tons of black smoke.
