Unhappy Rough Idle

Hi Guys,
I just finished installing a BBK induction system, 65mm throttle body and spacer. I also honed out the stock upper intake, only where the spacer attaches to the upper intake (maybe not a good idea??) to smooth out the air flow.
When i started the car it has a rough idle and dark smoke from the exhaust.
I checked all the connections everything seems to be ok.
Any suggestions on what the problem might be.

Thanks, I appreciate any input.

Hi Guys,

Turned out to be a disconnected map sensor hose.
