Default Would this be normal?

Recently I had my truck dyno on a mustang dyno! We were doing a top rpm pull to see what rpm it quit making power @!
After the pull was done my collectors were cherry red & glowing!

Is this normal?

About 30 sec I think could have been longer.
I don't think so but didn't have the wide band hooked up.
Naw no turbo.

an overly rich condition can cause unburnt fuel to reburn in the manifolds or headers and cause them to be red.
