Bigger Flames!!

hey guys. so far i only have a the jic catback and the b&b test pipe. and as most of you know, we shoot some flames out of our exhaust from the cat delete. but i wanted to make these flames bigger because they are fairly small. I KNOW nitrous or turbo will make them a lot bigger but is there anything N/A that will actually help them get bigger?? hahah i was thinkin bout gettin a cai and pulleys but i'm not sure if they would help. any suggestions??

haha, wow, do you just want to show off or something? better get some fire retardant stuff on your rear bumper and have one of those fire extinguishers in your car like those ricers from fast and the furious have.

get a cz/int-x/emu and tell it to add more fuel at whatever range you want.

with my turbo and a bov, it would blow flames with EVERY shift because it let out the air and there was suddenly too much fuel... as cool as it sounds, it's not that cool.

parts needed- spark plug, some wire and a switch

tap a hole in the last few inches of your exhaust. install the spark plug. wire that to the switch and the power.

whenever you want flames just flip the switch to send juice to the plug.



of course there are kits available

So youre doing these mods and spending hundreds, if not a little over $1000 just to shoot bigger flames?
The only flames you deserve are from forum members.

thats not the only reason he's doin it, just an added bonus, its his car if he wants to shoot 10 ft flames thats his choice. why would people flame him. you know that the first time you saw a car shoot flames you were in complete motor bliss. if you say not your either a lil homo or just a complete bore. People love these cars for many diff reasons, some for looks, some for sound, some for handeling, few for power, and some for the lil kool things like the flames, the 9k redline(MT) some for paddle shifters (AT). his car his money his choice. and yes i know you have the right to say what you want but damn

The trick to shoot nasty flames in propane. You need to do the spark plug mod, but also pipe some copper lines into the tail pipe and you'll shoot a nasty flame out of the back.

Most of the kits you'll see on ebay are for old cars and the kit makes the car misfire so the extra fuel gets pushed out of the exhaust for flames.

Hes spending over $1000 on his car for what seems to be the sole purpose of 'shooting bigger flames'. Im sorry, but to me thats a huge waste of money and mods.

If you've deleted the cat then your best bet is an ECU. Mantis @ Mazsport has a cat delete and the Interceptor-X, and her can pop flames so big and loud that you'll think that you broke something. "ba.ba...BAM!"

Dont waste alot of money on a spark kit. If you look around the web you'll find that a spark kit is pretty much a coil with a spark plug, wires and a switch.

You know, I was just thinking that the falling price of gas has left me with too much money in my wallet, I think I will be setting up my car to run rich and shoot flames too.

Why is this in the "Performance Modifications" section? I don't see how this is performance
