What kinds of things determine the size of flames that are shot out. Is it the size of your tips or a certain muffler or piping? Im gonna be shootin flames this summer I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the size of the flame is determined by how poorly your car is running! haha

when i first got mine, it would shoot beachball sized flames just reving at idle, on and off boost they were about 10ft long. After i fixed all the leaks and changed the plugs it only pops a bit and shoots an occasional fireball right when the engine comes off load. Basically you gotta have a decently high EGT while being rich as hell...i can't believe we are having this conversation

I concur.



however, it does have some merit, people stayed the hell away from my car when it blew some oil smoke and shot flames.
