It is possible that turning up the fuel has made things worse, since excessive soot can crud up the rings and make them not seal as well. If you are getting a lot of black smoke, you might want to turn the fuel down and clean it up a bit. The soot doesn't give you any additional power, and the extra particulate matter inside the cylinders makes rings and bores wear out faster.
