    for those pumping more than just gas out there pipes, i'm looking for some shut off valves, planning on shooting some propain too. currently using NOS solenoids to inject gas (still some fine tuning to do) but want a little more...or shall i say BIGGER flames. I'd use another set of NOS solenoids, but i'm looking for a little more flow. ideas anyone???
    Also if you plan to tell me how stupid flamethrowers are don't waste your time, i've heard it all before....

    is propane what you guys use to shoot out the big**** fireballs? i have flame-throwers as well, but i only get a 2 foot torch like flame. how do you set up the propane to not blow up the car?

    One guy in the club is shooting propane, and map gas, I'll ask him whats up. Hes actually on here, but never checks in... His flames are big and fluffy, very bright**** white in color. Hurts to look directly at em sometimes... -J

    Also, you've probly already tried all this, but spark plug placement and gap makes a big difference, as well as the size of the pipe. Bigger diameter= slower moving exaust, and puffyier oranger flames, smaller= faster moving exaust and more blue colored jet like flames. Also a manual choke is a big help. -J.

  6. Your problem may be your fuel pump. How many PSI's is it? In order to get the big fluffy flames you see you'll need to run one (if not two) EFI pumps.

    Actually there is not a problem, it works good, but i want bigger & better. I'm currently using a holley blue in the back, and shooting through the NOS nozzles, it will shoot the gas a good 10 feet or so. no problems there just looking for a secondary source.

    What NOS valves are you running and are you using their nozzles or just shooting them through an orfice or a piece of pipe?
