i was driving last night with my car really cold , take off playing around and in 1st gear boost like 9 psi the go to shift and my car backfires...... nothing unusual until i get home and my roomate who was behind me when i left said i shot a 3 foot wandering flame out of the tailpipe..... i guess i am running super rich when my car is cold....... just figured i would see if i am special

Your car should run richer when its cold....but you should also let it warm up before you go around boosting it.
