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

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