You mean like this?
You should be fine with the Stock ECU, but something that makes it run richer like the AFC would help.

how much is too much?

k, how much back firing is too much? for my car, if i was to push it til 6000+rpm n let off in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, n sometimes in 4th, i can hear the explosion in the exhaust, n sometimes i can feel the backend vibrate from it.. n at nite, i can see the flash on the pavement in my mirror or cars next to me... i know it scares the hell outta people n it's a good way to get that *** hole off your rear bumper in traffic.... my buddy's old 1st gen (85 GSL-SE) with dual dtms shot out the meanest flames, but i havent had the chance to see mine, cuz i dont let neone else drive it.. hehe... newayz, what are the negative sides to flames n back firing?

when i shift hard, especially between 2-3 rd the flame is big enough for me to see in my rear-and side view mirrors. from about dusk on. can't really see it in the daytime. Gets any jerk off your bumper. "carefull she bites"

I can already smell gas in my exhaust, w/ only gutted cats. So w/ my Bonez racepipe and Racing A (Apex N1 knockoff) mufflr, should I throw flames in my n/a? Both parts are on order, so I want to know what to expect!

Yep that would be my FD from a few days ago. You can see video of it here!
Flames
You need quicktime and its under 3 mb, so the download shouldn't take long. Let me know what you think!

Is it possible to flame in an automatic? I'll never spend the money on mine to find out. I don't think it's worth it cause it's still an auto. But I'm just curious if it's been done.
