Red Glow from stack

So finally got my truck buttoned up and running, my buddy and I took it out for a couple of test hits just 0 to 75 and after looking at some footage I have a red glow coming out of my stack around 6in tall it goes away then comes back as the truck accelerates. Not sure what it is. When we got back after 2 runs we shook the truck down wasn't leaking any fluid and was idling fine. During the drive no sounds or strange feelings from the truck occurred. I have seen YouTube footage of drags and have seen a few guys have the same red glow. Before I push the truck harder just want to know the culprit.

Late fuel possibly. Add timing.

Hahahah not a hood stack it's a bed stack. I'm at 26* of timing currently. EGTs after looking at the data log peaked at 1625 for .75 seconds. Didn't mean to come off retarded but hey guess the was a dumb question but I love the comments made me laugh quite a bit. I'll bump up the timing another 2* and see what happens.
