thats awesome! Car sounds like an r-tronic...? do you think the same type of flame could be reproduced in the manual version with double clutching the downshifts?

Very nice. Everyone loves fire!!! When I read the thread title and saw the guy standing close to tail pipes I was expecting him to get torched.

A little info on the car in the video...

Bone stock! We were doing baseline dynos before the modifications!!

We were quite surprised to see that much fire out of a stock car! The only other car we've had shoot that much fire stock was the LP640.

The ECU enriches the mixture due to high heat in the dyno room causing it to split flames on the downshift when the throttle is slightly blipped.

Same thing is happening to this LP640 but to a greater extent. I think he burned out the cats in the process which threw a CEL

The temperature in the dyno room during that run was 84.2 degrees and the airflow traveling across the car during that particular run was 76 degrees. Proper cooling and ventilation in a dyno cell is paramount, especially while tuning cars. Our dyno cell is separately controlled from the rest of our building for this exact reason.
