Welcome to the forum. Several guys including me have undergone the same problem. Go to the Tech Vault and check out the carb/intake section. Remove your AI "air injection" with the AI removal kit from www.newspeedmaster.com they've got everything you'll need. Also this means you might be runnin a little lean on the main jet so check into dinqua's carb tunning site. Its got a jetting calculator for whatever setup you've got.

jughead,
there are also a ton of products out there to remove the bluing once you get the AI off. Blue Off for one that I can think of.

remove the AI is step 1 after that is jetting and mix adjustment depending on your intake and pipes.

When I took mine in for the 500 mile service, the only mention of the AI removal kit was that the mechanic wanted to know were he could get them.
