Im running a full TB, and im catless. I was driving very spiritualy in the farm roads of MD, and I was leading a group of cars, but everytime I looked back they are either switching positions or they are like 3 or 4 cars behind. Well the told me my car was poping good size flames on the run. I know im running rich without the cat, but would this in any way harm my engine or turbo? my avereage speed was 85mph, in the upper 5500+ rpm ranges for a good 15 minutes, mostly 2nd and 3rd gear runs.

I played around with a bud in his evo on the highway one night around midnigh, empty road so don't worry, after I got ahead of him a bit I shifted from 4th to fifth at a higher rpm, don't ask as I don't remember, and he said I blew out a harty sized flame. I run full 3" turbo back w/o cat.
