Weenie roast....LOL

I found these old clips of a few club members video taping my 8. It is a 350Z following with a silly commentator.

Flames are always fun to watch....

I would like to thank my Interceptor X and my race pipe for this show....oh yeah, and HKS....

Damn girl. Those aren't flames. That's a full blown fire. I've never seen a street car do that. I've seen flames shoot out quickly but nothing like that. Nice. I'll bet it gets the attention of other drivers pretty quickly. Don't do that in front of a cop!

at VIR, i saw a rx7 go full afterburner for about 100 feet after down shifting to shoot up a short straight. was awesome.

so you say, interceptor x and what pipe allows this? :D

any race pipe will do....

the race pipe with exhausts will cause starbursts usually. The InterceptorX dumps fuel (can be tuned to not flame) on deceleration which causes the longer flame.

I am also tuned to run 87 gas....

Me was shooting flames regularly with my system and Int-X. Practically every time I decelerated. It melted the bumper, but just a little, as my exhaust tips are extended.
I also found that tuning the Int-x not to flame will save quite a bit on gas :-). With my new job I have to drive almost a 100 miles every day, and I found that this amounts to a sizable chunk of change after a while.
What i did (just recently) is I nearly 0ed out the fuel @ 30HG from 2500 rpm to 7000 (Matrix Mode). Now My AF on decell has gone from 12 up to pretty much just air, when driven lightly or moderately hard. Saves tons of fuel while in decell, but still makes a nice pop when shifted at red-line. ...Best of both worlds :-)

The video looks sick though Very cool.
