Depends on how far back your cut-out is and how rich a tune you have. Stock tunes seem to be on the conservative side. I would point fingers there to start.

Are you sure it's a backfire, not just the usual popping sounds?

More than likely just the normal popping sounds that most fbods have including mine. I had a cutout on my 98 and it did it also. The gmmg does it when it is cold in the 02.

Yes... if it was backfiring, you should be VERY worried.
