If your spark is like powder black with no oil then you are running rich. If it has oil in it, you are problably burning oil. You have to take it to a dyno shop and tune it properly.

You are running excessively rich.
550s + fuel pump is a lot of gas ... you need to have the car tuned.
Chances are you are going to have to bring down your base-idle FP.

I just put 550's in mine and it blows black smoke like hell and the oil smelt like fuel. I need to tune it way down. Jekyl, do you have an AFC? If so, how much fuel are you taking out at idle?

Unfortunately, if I give you my settings on my SAFC they will do you no good. I am also using an HKS VPC and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.
Messing with your fuel (too rich or too lean) is asking for trouble.
Spend the $$ on getting it dyno tuned ... it is your safest bet.
If you only have the SAFC, I recommend you get an adjustable FPR so you do not have to lean things out with just the SAFC (very dangerous).
With an adjustable FP, you can lower your base-idle FP.
