Flame thrower Kits

Old school guys you know what they are. I know you cant use them on cars with cats no problem there, as i wont have any after the smog test. I also know that its not legal to install on most cars, but its also not legal to remove cats so either way

If i cannot (being fuel delivery systems are more effiecent then 30 years ago) get enough fuel to spill/dump into the exhuast pipes to ignite it, then what are the names of the kits that allow you to use a self contained fuel source to feed it. and where can i buy them.

There was a third gen orange camaro on the cover of Car Craft magazine a month or two ago. Try to contact that guy through the magazine to see how he did it.

if you arent going to take off the cats you will probably want to go with propane injection. Which really isnt that difficult and will give you some massive flames too

There is no kit that i have ever seen or heard of that has a seperate fuel system to dump more into the system , most people who havethem on there cars wont tell you how they set it up, its there little secrate. i know becuz ive asked and ive been told no and this is from some one i know personally. if your tryin to shoot flames like the pic im attching, then your on your own withthe set up.

i used to work with the guy that owned that car, this was taken at work during the spring. he also has a 43 ford that is set up the same way but with more fuel capsity (sp). the flames he shots are about 65ft long and about 35-40 ft high.

like the camaro/firebird isnt hot enough , haha, well i think its kinda cool, but in the long run expensive, lets just say do u like ur exhaust set up? cause after a few its gonna blow the welds on the exhaust system, i've seen it happen with two of my friends who got it, it was funny, but they were pissed, cause they got all new exhaust and installed this **** on their cars, and about a month or two later, around the same time, they wished they didnt do it in the long run, but i would be afraid in a thirdgen since its fiberglass in the back and ****, and i would be afraid something would go wrong and explode and burn up my car, also, i dont think these systems work too good with a tpi set up, if im not mistakened they arent good for one either, but carb on the other hand i think ur all good, but im not sure??????

its easier than you think...most kits come with a wire that you tap into your coil, so when you flip the switch it kills your ignition but you still have gas being injected into the cylinders..i was cruising around seaside one night when i saw a guy in a fox body stang with this kit and he told me about it...it looks sick

the kit that u wire to your coil is the one where u have to run no cats at all to get that extra fuel to dump out with out cloggin your cat up. the pic i posted has a seperate fuel system and whatnot. with that set up u can run cats or no cats, dont have to worry about messing with the coil also, but u do run a high risk of settin your car on fire though.

haha be ya to it al
