Wes,
I am sorry I had no idea that you did not have a turbo on it. So you are at 7 or 8k and wondering why it is running how with black smoke. I would say that is what you get at that altitude under load without turbo. My non turbo is a complete dog at 4k, I would not even think about towing at your altitude without turbo. Just my 2 cents but I think some others have more experience as to the limits of 70 series with 3b stock at those altitudes.
