I give you that link with the understanding that the product will not be purchased by anyone on this board, except for ricky. He likes that rice stuff.

I've been told that the FD RX-7's can do it relatively easily? Like if you keep your foot on the gas and then shift the extra fuel'll ignite?
Also, wouldent that kind of be like the "mis-firing" system they had in ID? The tech stuff they had in there seemed pretty accurate.

Re:shoot flames, when down shifting?
Y'all should see what I've done with my spare accord driver car... lol. I've got wires running to a battery with a swich with an ignitor that runs under the car. I can hook up black powder pellets / flash powder to it and hit the switch... then POOOF, huge fire ball and TONS of smoke goes everywhere.

Re:shoot flames, when down shifting?
Well the reason flames appear in high boosted cars is usually during a WOT shift or a hi-throttle shift, because the fuel curve is still high but the air curve isn't so you end up with excess gas that is unburned... the unburned gas still flows through the exhaust (carried by the hot vapors) and will reignite as it bounces off the hot metal (this is what your catalytic converter does). People who drive without cats, or gut them have a greater chance of seeing the flames come out their tip from bouncing in the muffler - thats professor chacko for now
