im bored, and want to throw fire. help me :)

this is a question for the guys who tune their own cars. im bored, ive basically tuned my MT to the best of my ability. and am wondering for the guys ive heard of who have Tii's and throw fire. how, i cant seem to make mine throw those infamous 10 second fireballs. ive got a wideband, and am manily wondering what kinda #'s on the afr's you guys look for when your throwing fire. i know i need to have it richen up under vac. -20hgish. but am wondering how rich? and what kind of conditions envoke the fireballs? i want the kind i can see in my rearview mirror lighting up the car behind me

thanks,
Daniel

ps. also ive heard its hard to throw fire in normal mode? i run in matrix mode, or does it matter?

mixtrim adjusts the whole fuel map up...whats the point of that? it adds fuel everywhere, what im asking is, im wondering if yall have adjusted your load maps/timeing maps in like -20-25hg during decel and have a winning combo to throw fire when you get off the go pedal.

If you're gonna throw fire, you need a straight-through exhaust. (no cats or baffled mufflers) You'll want to run a little rich under vacuum. When you want flames, put the car under load (WOT under boost for at least 5 seconds) and then just a little bit of trailing throttle to shove unburned fuel into the (now) red-hot turbo impeller. Should give you flames as long as you want. (I've seen Blue TIIs car shoot flame for 15 seconds going downhill after passing going up the hill...)
