Re:Fireballing?
yup used2baracer is right.
I shoot flames everyday ...
I have no muffler my exhaust ends under the car before the bends and 2 to 3 times a day I hear and feel a blaaaammmmm and....people in other car tell me at the stop light that my car was on fire

Re:Fireballing?
back firing is like a mis fire, except that the explosion occurs somewhere in the headers. I'm talking about generating fireballs in the exhaust, and its only plausible without a catalytic (or a gutted) catalytic converter. Because the device itself demeans the entire ability to do this.

Re:Fireballing?
there's really only two possible reasons to fart fire...
#1 is a rich condition
#2 Hydrogen...
#1 there might be fuel making it's way past the glowing turbo into the exhaust and upon closing the throttle the flow of exhaust decreases so rapidly that the pressure decreases so quickly the gasoline reaches some sort of flashpoint or whatnot?
another thing ight be that the h2o that is formed actually decomposes inside the hot turbocharger and after closing the throttle...refer to above.
I think #2 is kind of out there, but ifthe flame was a bright white then it might be plausible?

Re:Fireballing?
So, umm...why hasn't anyone mentioned ALS (Anti-Lag System) aka bang bang? You retard the hell out of your timing, let some fuel into the turbine and boom...keeps your turbo spooled between shifts.
