Need help!!

I have a 91 Camaro Z28 TPI I made some upgrades to the engine. At idle and when driving normal runs good. The problem im having is when i give it full throttle it red lines and doesnt down shift and alot of black smoke pours out the exhaust. The transmission worked fine before i made the mods, so i went to a local performance shop. they told me i might need a custom made chip for the aftermarket parts and mods i made to the engine. Has anyone ever ran into this problem or knows anything on this. If u do help me please!
