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).
1.FDs have a MAP sensor not a AFM , having a open BOV makes no difference.
2.No

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 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?
Not sure about a resonated midpipe. You MIGHT have been able to do it on a stock ECU with just a straight pipe, but that's dangerous, and not because it's a fire hazard.
Maybe reposition the IAT to the stock elbow to avoid any heatsoak and see the coolest temps. That would tend to make it run richer.

i made my flames with downpipe,midpipe, RB catback, walbro fuel pump, BOV, and an intake..... wasnt that hard but alas i cant find the videos anywhere so theyre lost permanently i guess unless someone else has them. wish i had them somewhere.

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?
yeah nothing dramatic though
you want drama forget to turn decel fuel cut off on the haltech and then let off the gas @redline, you could see orange in the mirror.... movies at some point

the fun factor ends when you see flames bout 4 inches above the R1 wing which dont seem to want to extinguish....once i stepped on the gas to try and stop it and it just created a flame thrower like burst...

my flames used to come up and over the stock t2 wing, dance around for a little while etc. i also melted part of the plastic on a ford expedition which was too close to me at a light.
