lt1 initial break in , oil is black

ok so the first time i ran my motor the tune was for stock injectors and i have 30 lb so it was running rich. i now have the correct tune and new o2 sensors and ran the motor for a little bit today trying to trouble shoot and i noticed that the oil is BLACK. is this from the previous incorrect tune? did i do any damage?
tomorrow i plan to change the oil and put fresh gas with octane booster

also , it is throwing codes for MAF and TPS.

your tune would have nothing to do with your oil
did you change the filter?

the tune would have to do with the amount of extra fuel being dumped into the cylinder. 24lb injectors vs 30lb

Added fuel being un burnt, or to lean and it burns oil etc etc.

I would change the oil and see how it comes out next. What was done to the motor for the break in?

See if the oil appears rather thin and if there is any odor to it.

Do this.

Also, did you use any break in lubes or additives?

Fix your car before you pass out and kill someone.
