Slight backfire

Hey guys my engine is done and I have been carefully bring my engine in. its a 3rd gen R2 and the mods on the engines are 3mm seals and street port. Well I was wondering my car would back fire once your on the gas and you let off fast it has a slight backfire out of the exhaust, what would I be checkin to fix this backfire. Is it normail because of the streetport and using stock ecu? or is there something I can look at to fix the backfire???

Sounds like you're running rich. What are the rest of your mods?

A dashpot slowly decreases the throttle on your car when you let off the gas instead of just cutting it off.

Mine is doing just the same. I reduced it a lot by sealing the 2 exhaust gaskits. My specialists is also saying that my cathalitic converter is very dirty and that is what is causing the rest of the backfireing. I will soon change it with a downpipe though and will see how it fare. I am just waiting to see what my countyr's new emission regulations will be.
