just got a 91 coupe with a s/c 9# boost(kenne bell) it has stock injectors (19#) maf and t/b. the feul pressure with the vacuum off is at 64# which seems really high vacuum on is around 50#. seems to run rich(black smoke and gas smell)it has the k/b fmu. feul preesure will go to about 80# with boost. i know a dyno tune or a wide band are the best way but out of my means right now.) just trying to find some baselines. any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. thanks

Your intial fuel pressure should be at stock setting. You should also be running a boost-a-pump or larger than stock fuel pump. Let the FMU do the work of providing the fuel pressure for when it's in boost. 9 lbs from a KB is too much for 19 lb injectors. If you're truly getting 9 lbs of boost then you may want to swap to a larger pulley (reduce boost) before you lean out and blow it up.
