One of the reasons why I fell in love the FD was because it could throw flames! This is something I want to be able to do. How can I throw flames like this, Ok this is a little big, but I just want to throw at lest some flames when I get off the gas from WOT.

My current setup.
- Intake
- Down Pipe
- Cat-Back
- Stock fuel system
Questions?
Can I throw flames with the stock main-cat still on the car, with my setup?
My stock wastegate has been ported and can most likely keep the car at a consistent 10psi without the main-cat, can I throw flames with a stock fuel system and resonator pipe in place of the main-cat?

if you want to be cool and throw flames, what you can do is
1.Tune your car retard rich so you dump so much fuel on decel that you throw flames
2.put a spark plug in your exhaust and boom boom boomm!!!!
But seriously, don't do any of these things I mentioned. A properly tuned and safely ran FD will not spray huge flames lasting for minutes. No matter what, with full exhaust, you will get flames. Just not the ones im sure you've seen in videos.
Edit: Oh most likely not with the main cat.

Remove your catalytic converter.
turn decel air to 000.000
Turn decel air to 000.000? does this require something like the PowerFC because I do not have a stand alone Fuel control unit. Can you elaboriate.

Do FDs have the dashpot on the throttle to slow the close of the buterflys? If so removing that will help make the rich conditon you so desire. That and having a non-recurculating BOV, not sure again if FDs had those (I assume they did).

pour gas on it, light it on fire, watch the pretty flames, then drive it into a lake.
Sounds safe, Its worth a try!
But seriously, with the stock fuel system and no main-cat can I get some flame out my tailpipe?
