i'm n/a, but yea, fire is fun. i dont need any flames below 8000, though (or at all). i dont even remember the last time i revved to 8000. i'd rather my car run well and rev correctly all the way to redline. if it spits a little extra fuel up top, fine. i don't own a rotary for the flames, they're just a strange bonus. i want my air fuels to be well tuned.

I don't think something is quite right with your car... Although I generally deal solely with ported engines, I have never seen anN/A of any series go that rich under WOT.
All those mods and only 125 hp, too? Something's off here...

I think you're drinking crappy Stoly's and you're seeing purple elephants, eh?
