black smoke is unburnt fuel.......so best bet is that you're timing is out, faulty injector(s), faulty input sensors e.g. C.A.S., oxy sensor, water temp sensor....or you're computer is on default settings(it runs richer when in default.......

it could have been caused by the top quality shell stuff you talk of. its a cleaner burning petrol and is known for shifting the **** out of your internals meaning it will possibly smoke for a couple of tanks then clear up adn run better. also could be what 7th said so take your pick. get it looked at or run a couple of tanks of optimax through it and see what happens/
