You shouldn't be throwing flames on acceleration, but in-between shifts. And you must have a blowoff valve venting to the air. This is because you create a rich condition in-between shifts if the fuel is still in the combustion chamber and doesn't get burned until it hits the exhaust (which ignites the fuel). If you are accelerating, the air/fuel mixture should be relatively even so no unburned gases escape into the exhaust.

the Apexi S-AFC has a function that is supposed to prevent that on deceleration. I don't know if its worth the 300+ for you but thought I would let you know.
