Default Adjusting aem ems tune

Just wondering if its possible to change some settings on my tune so it backfires at redline in each gear and 2 step. Is this something i can do or should i bring it to a tuner. My cars already tuned on pump gas. Ive played around with the aem before so im sorta familar with it. Is this something as simple as adding fuel at a certin rpm or cutting ignition a few rpms before fuel cut.

Are you serious? You want a flame out of your exhaust so you can be "cool" ?

Get out of here with that crap.

Cut ignition not fuel and you'll shoot flames out of your exhaust at redline... Takes 2 seconds to configure the AEM this way.

How much should I cut ignition by? I cut my 2 step from 5000 to 4900 and it backfires now. Is this safe?

Ignition is at 9100 fuel is at 9300 , What would be a safe number to bring ignition down to?

Doesn't have to shoot flames , just want it to make a little noise as my car is very quite when I'm ripping it. Doesn't even sound boosted with my Q300.

You don't cut it by anything...

When you go into the rev limiter settings, you have a choice of limiting the engine by fuel cut or rpm cut. The ignition cut is what makes a ton of noise, shoots flames out of the exhaust, destroys cats, and scares small children. The fuel cut is relatively sane and proper...

Regarding the 2 step, there are some awesome threads about how to set it up and tune it over on the AEMPower forums.

Pfft, every one thinks flames out the back is cool. Ferrari even does it. Not like he's hurting performance by doing it. I see it as the same as putting an aftermarket front bumper on a car.

Some very reputable tuners set the rev limiter to ignition cut as its cleaner than fuel cut (I was told). I don't care about 2 step
