when its in park or neutral it smokes white and back fires at high rpms, but when its moving i can floor it and it will smoke black and not back fire. also it starts strong sometimes, but other times it starts really weak

you could be getting air into the lines or possible plugged fuel filter. check fuel lines from tank to the lift pump and check injector lines and such for a possible pin hole leak.
