My car occasionally shoots flames lately when I shift at redline. I just wanted to check with you guys and see if that is necessarily a bad thing? What is that typically indicative of; aside from having a bada$$ car of course, haha. Should it have the timing pulled a little? Or is it just running a little rich? What makes that happen, and should it be retuned to try to stop it from doing that or can I just sit back and enjoy it?

Car is supercharged, AP2 pulley, no cat.

 

I wanted to know the same but i am shoooting black clouds sometimes instead of flames and i was wanting to know how to set the AEM so i get bigger flames...
Biggest possible.

 

add some timing to your decel fuel maps...

I'm not sure if you're mocking me or serious, but either way.

 

I perfectly tuned car won't backfire so you car isn't running optimally when its shooting flames out the back.

However, there is nothing wrong with it aside from your "losing" power by doing it really.

 

Thanks for the input. So it's something like: -5hp, but +10 cool points. I think I'm ok with that, haha.

 

Don't go overkill with it either otherwise in DD you'll get +5 bumper melting points, +10 cop points, +10 other normal people hate you points.

To give an exmaple, we had a stupid STI that would backfire ALL the time around our dorm rooms and naturally he had to drive at friggen 3am; sounded like a shotgun going off...it wasn't cool by any strech of the word. If we ever found his car, it would have a brick through the windshield

 

no cat + overly rich + retarded timing = flames

 

hahahah you rock dude!

 

Well you could always be cool and put a caution sticker above the exhaust like on a fighter jet lol.
