Let's shoot some flames!

I just shot the biggest flames I've ever shot a couple days ago. It popped, then licked, then popped a bunch more (the flames that is). All together, there was constantly a flame at least 3' long, and it lasted almost 4 seconds! Two of my friends were driving behind me, and they've seen me shoot flames before, but this time they thought my car was on fire. Too bad I didn't get any pictures...which leads to this post. If you've ever gotten some bad *** flame shots on camera, let's see 'em!!!

Now I KNOW there are some more tII's and NA's out there that can shoot some fire. I've seen both do it, but does anyone have any pictures?

My 74 REPU does all the time. You can even see them in the day time. Once its warm just floor it out to like 6.6k and then let off and it will do constant ones that will last until the rpm's get down to like 3k. At night when your in the cab and i am doing like 80 in 4th gear then i will let off and as i am looking forward i can see the whole rearend light up with fire in my peripheral vision. I am going to try and get some pics for you guys tonight.

i havent seen to many flame pics or vids in a while. i think its cuz they happen best at random. i know my t2 throws em all the time. they pop out and then flutter around for a sec before slowly shrinking back into the exhaust. at least thats what some friends told me. oh but do watch out. my first T2 threw a fireball so big it exploded the factory cat-back.

Last week I took my 2nd cat out at midnight for the hell of it. My friends followed me down the street as I tried to diagnose problems and he said it blew some sweet flames and whet I let the RPM's run down and shifted. I plan to take my cats off in a mopnth after I pass emmisions and take a few pics.

the pic in the sig was w/ my old set up, (stock injectors, turboxs type h bypass valve, 2.5 bonez dp, and RP catback, and stock turbo and intercooler) but i shoot a lot better flames now. these flames were really quick flames, they didn't linger at all.
