I think for most examples, flames come when you let off the throttle. As you hit higher rpm's, the car is dumping more fuel into the engine. When you let off abrubtly, the fuel builds up, and ignites on its way out.



It makes sense to me, but I could be wrong.

Yea My 86 Rx7 almost burnt my friend dave who was being the "flag girl" i was going up against an 87 rx7 and flames shot out my exhaust. and uh... i have no turbo's o rupgrades under the hood. I am thinking that the car needs a tune-up. What do u think it is.and what exactly under the hood should i start working on buyin and installing first then second then third?

damn....ok if ur just driving down the street at like 3k rpm ur not gonna be shooting flames like the fast and the furious. if u bring it up to about 6k or 7k and let off the gas suddenly it might backfire and let off some flames. if i didnt have my cat on id be shooting flames. when i really punch it and shift at like 75k it will give a couple nice back fires but my cat is probly preventing the flame. by the way i know it's off topic but i love my CS catback after learning how to drive to keep it quiet it isnt really to loud. when i let off before a turn theres a nice gurgling sound like at the track.sweetness
