Default Fire outta my exhaust

I never get to drive with or around my friends, but last night they picked me up for a day of golf, and dropped me back off, so I got to drive home next to them for awhile. Anyways, my buddy in his GS430 wanted to see how fast the car really is so I redlined 2nd blowing past him shortshift 3rd at about 7500 and go into 4th approaching a sharp turn. I downshift from 4th to 3rd to 2nd, and they said there was fire coming out of my exhaust on each downshift. My UEGO gauge isn't functioning now, so I was curious if this means I'm running rich or is it just because I was downshifting? Thanks.

It's raw gasoline with no spark for a few revolutions and then reapplication of the spark or other ignition source while not running a cat.

You can just have your tuner cut fuel before spark and that won't leave the unburned gas.

Thanks fellas. Washed it today Justin It'll look good for about 5 hrs until it's covered in pollen again.

We don't get snow all winter. We get green snow in Spring time.

Why would you want to do that?!


I've heard its actually safer to cut ignition instead of fuel anyway.
