sputter at any rpm

when i give it throttle it sputters, when i just stap it it wants to die but stays running and puts out black smoke. i just installed ddp2 injectors that were leaking, but i got that fixed and the problem still exist. im hoping its just the timing (slipped) and not a blown head gasket. no coolant lost and i cant smell fuel or coolant on the dipstick. im at a lost. it has totally ruined my holiday weekend

Sounds like you aren't getting enough fuel.
You need to check fuel pressure, could be plugged filter(s), bad overflow valve or lift pump.
