Loud exhaust pops in between shifts?
So ever since i got the Walboro and a re-tune, everytime i shift real fast, the car gets loud backfires...I was at the track last friday and everyone told me i was shooting orange flames out when i shifted from 1-2 and 3-4..Whats the cause for this? The car has a 11.5-11.6 A/F across the board

Are you flatshifting 1/2 and 3/4?
If so then thats the reason.
High RPM, the ecu first cuts the ignition when it initially hits the limiter. Therefore overfueling occurs. Hence pop and flamage.

I'm only guessing here, but perhaps the ecu isn't reacting quick enough too shut off injectors when you lift off, hence a little overfueling is happening since they're firing flat out at high rpm.
Only a guess though...sorry.
