Next, under the emitter tab, change type to curve. Then change the particles rate to 273.504. After that, make the direction Y value .427 and direction X & Z value 0. Now give a speed of value .342. Next, give a Tangent speed of value 5.043. and a Normal speed of .513.

Under particle shape tab change the lifespan mode to random range. Then change the Lifespan value to 5 and the Lifespan random to 1.
