you shoot flames when your shifting? mine does the same thing, little blue flames. i think its because you go from full throttle to no throttle for a split second and unburnt feul from the power stroke escapes on the exhaust stroke and starts a mild fire (blue flame) and shoots out the exhaust.

He said he had a **** kit not a SHIFT kit. They're joking with him.
Possible a bad fuel solenoid on your wet kit? leaking excess fuel into your engine? just a thought.
