Will I be sitting on my wing roasting marshmallows?

Anyone with turbo experiences -

Need to know if my 3.3t engine will throw flames. The reason for this is my nicely painted fiberglass bumper. I don't want to see it dripping down the road on fire.

I'm using a Euro exhaust system and have no auxillary fuel enrichment systems in place. For those not familiar, a euro exhaust looks very much like a stock USA SC unit. Both HEs exit to the back and one pipe comes around to the turbo. Plan to use a very short supertrapp type muffler. Mods include 1.0bar, CIS cams, and K27-7200 turbo.

Thanks

Rarly L8, I belive the number one cause of the flames is unburn fuel so i think you should be ok but then again it be cool to have a 2 feet of flame comming out that will keep them away.
just kiddding

Rarly,
I had a similar setup (K27-7006 moded, Euro exhaust & Kokeln IC) no flames just soot. This was at 3.0-3.5 CO too. I believe you need headers (GhL, BB or Holcomb type) as well as muffler set up you have to get flames. Juan is correct in that the unburnt fuel ignites when you let off throttle or up shift. With the crossover setup on the euro I think the length to the atmosphere is too long for flames. On my rebuild I am leaning toward GHL, twin ignition and SC cams. Should give me flames but my paint job on the bumper is getting old

Lots of cam overlap guarantees you some nice tailpipe flames.
Are you *sure* you don't want them?
Puts fear in the eyes of the ricers.
