Possibly, though I would think the different engine is a more likely cause. I believe Block is using Pipo engines, the OMSE Fiesta's use Mountune engines.

Looking at Solberg's car would also support that theory as he also uses Pipo engines and his car seems to really pull well.

Different engine (and I would imagine different mapper) = more flames! I look forward to seeing Block's Fiesta in action at Loheac: I was disappointed by the general lack of exhaust flames at Lydden!
