I saw a trucks the other weekend that stacey made and 1960 street rod truck spit flames out of the exhaust. I was wondering if you could do this with a Lightning. I heard it can not be done on a fuel injected car but i also herd you can do it as long as you do not have CATs. does anyone no. i dont think i would do it either way because it seems like something bad waiting to happen but i do think it would be way cool to see a two 5 foot flames fly out of the side of a L.
stupid question but got me thinking?

5 foot flames usually is a bad sign... ;-)
i would not mess with that...i saw that episode to but with our L's have the exhaust exit so close to the side of the truck, you are asking to have the paint melt off the side.
That would be useful for those times when those pesky ricers roll up beside you at a stoplight. Mmmm... cooked rice!!!
was it intentional, or accidental?
You know what cracks me up is that auto-loc "smoke screen" kit. Wouldnt that just make your vehicle look like it blew the motor?

Truck did it on it's own. Right after they switched to the winter mix on gas around here. The ecm was still getting used to it and she was running pig rich for some reason. Stomped on it from 30, kicked down, boom, instant fireball out the exhaust. I think I fried a plug at the same time. She's had a very inconsistant, very slight miss ever since. Guess I'll know later this month when I pull em all.

They make that? Now an oil slick kit.........that's where it's at.
The kits they make to shoot flames has a button in the cab to cut off your spark, then it runs raw fuel through your cylinders and exhaust til it exits and then a plug in the tip ignites it. Shooting unburned fuel through the cylinder strips the walls of oil and will eventually be bad. It looks cool for a while, but something will go wrong in the long run.

I heard that you can just use a propane tank. Run it through your exhaust and have the spark plug at the end to ignite it

There's an idea. Finally a use for that oil that collects in the oil separator!!! A couple of solenoids, relay, switch, spray nozzle of some sort, some tubing and you're in business.

cooked rice does sound good!!! I think I might have chinese tonight!! Thanks for the idea :lol:
Never understood the fascination with flames out the pipes....ah well to each their own!
I'm not a big fan of the whole flame thing but, it is going to look better on dual exhaust coming out of the back not the side, but that's just me. And that's on a car, exhaust coming out of the back on a Lightning would be horrible.
AHH, Thats what the good old carbed big blocks were fun. Turn off the ignition, while in gear, pump the gas like 10 times real fast, turn the ignition back on and BOOOOMMM!!!! Was especially effective in covered parking garages. Used to do that with a 75 caddy and a 501 BB .LOL, my misguided bowtie days
