aye, i can't see the fire but it goes BAFF

it did it rarely with just the one-ball mod, but with the 15% it does it a lot

it happens as I lift my foot off the gas slightly when i change the gear manually

Ah, I see. I think I know the sound. I don't get it much with this clutch, but with my defunct Spec, it used to sound so cool shifting from redline at full throttle. Maybe I'm thinking of a different sound.
