Pettit ECUs are notorous....I love it....let off the gas near the primary turbo transition and that nice, fat, rich mixture sends a huge flame down the pipe

Mine usually flames once in a while when it's not to cold out and i rev it high for a little while sometimes. I don't mind it b/c the only time it does it is when i want it to. Youe could put a spark plug in the exhaust with a capacitor and wire it to a button but it wouldn't be worth it. Just as long as you have both cats taken out, it should flame if you rev it up for long enough(even on the stock muffler it will work). Try keeping the rpm's up in the 6-7 range for a while and it'll flame. Good luck.

if you floor it and hit redline with an upgraded and untuned ecu you will shoot flames, the noise is more annoying than the flames, its kindof cool. the only real downside is my bumper slowly melting.

I get them at redline when i let go of the gas some of the time, i love it. When they tuned my car it shot some serious flames which kicked ***. I just don't like what it does to my bumper.
