Lots of smoke on takeoff

Having a problem lately. I have a #10 plate and housing 1/2 way forward, 3K GSK, and PDR-40/16. Had a shop install the springs and I installed the plate. Every once in a while on takeoff (empty around town starting in 2nd gear) I'll get a huge plume of unburned fuel smoke even though I'm easy on the go-pedal. Then it goes away instantly. Power seems down a bit lately too. I've been told it could be the GSK are too tight. What about timing? Full boost still reaches about 35lbs at WOT. EGT's have been normal (250* idling, 800* accelerating empty, 1000-1100* towing 5000lbs. uphill). Any thoughts? Thanks.
