    Is there a way to take control of the backfire trigger? At the moment it seems to just go off after heavy engine braking but I want to control the exact conditions when this happens. Is it possible in 3d max to control the animation trigger?

    I fear that it is hardcoded, so no Chance to do that, i guess.

    Only thing I have spotted is adjusting the "amount".

    I've played with that in the sfx file, it does nothing as far as I can tell.

    Yes and it's only a Texture Animation, that you can modify, but not set when it happens.

    I want my car to backfire on upshifts. The real car fires immediately when the throttle is released.

    You could try to ask the Devs, that are replying here in the Forum, if they can tell you what it needs to activate the Backfire.
    But i suppose that you'll get no Answer.

    You can constantly trigger Backfire by rapidly pressing Pit speed limiter button On and Off, it works even if the car doesn't have a limiter. Although it probably not the exact function you are looking for, it can be used to test backfire visual effects.
