Black Smoke at WOT

Alright, I know this is a simple one for you guys, but I still need some simple advice. What should I do to fix this problem. There's no smoke at all at normal throttle, and then when I put it down it will pour when it shifts. What's going on? Is this a rich condition? I have a AFPR and it's set at 46psi. That doesn't sound like enough to be that rich, but perhaps. Any help would be great.

"Why StockBastard?" you might ask. Well...
84 Berlinetta body w/custom paint.
92 front/rear bumper and ground affects.
89 IROC 350tpi engine w/lots of mods.
87 3.73 possi rear w/disk brakes.
86 interior w/IROC dash.
And finally, stock Vet rims from the early 70s.(same ones used on the 69ss)
ALL IN ONE CAR!!!

Yup, you are rich. I only hope I can be as rich as you air/fuel mix.

So, I shouldn't worry about it? Won't it screw something up sooner or later? I'm thinking about NOS. I guess that won't exactly be a bad thing when I slap that on!

Rich is relative.
You are obviously not burning all of the fuel that is available at WFO.
Could be too musch fuel, or could be not enough spark, or not spark at the right time.
Check secondary ignition, from rotor to plugs.
Check ignition timing, and, for the hell of it, check the airflow supply (filter, etc.)
