Some rice shops sell a flame kit which contains nothing more than a spark plug and a switch with some wires. You can mount the switch anywhere easily accessable on the dash, the plug is installed on the tail pipe. When you want flames, press the button. You do need to be running on the rich side with no cat to do this though. I have seen it on bikes too.

For all of you that are skeptical about Brad.

This is real, he lives not far from me and we are pretty good friends.. Brad is a pretty smart guy and likes to play alot. He uses his AFC and some other stuff to accomplish this. Its pretty sweet actually, Especially at WOT. Ihave seen it several times in person. Not bad at all. He has spent some cash since the pics though. He just put a widebody kit on the car with Carbon Fiber Fender Flares and it is bad ***. Car also has ghost flames. It has 315's on the back and there is like 2-3 inches that the widebody still hangs over. He had to get 18x13 rims for the car. I will post some pics.
His name is Brad Mayo from Knoxville, TN

someone i know put sparkplugs to his old 60's muscle-car-whatever, it looks real cool, especially since he has 1" exhaust so it looks sounds like one of those F16 jets. his flames can get up to like 10 feet long too, but then it is a big V8

Here is a picture i snapped of his car at the texas meet a few months ago. Not very good quality though. You can see the CF flares and even the scoop on his roof....not sure what that's for.

That's pretty old, I remember when the guy on the Supraforum did that.

He wired up an ignition source to the exhaust and ran it in super rich mode.

the supra picture didnt show up? well if it didnt there's a low angle shot of the rear and it has a canister style muffler with what looks like a wire running into the side of the tip.. i'm guessing its for the flame trick using a sparkplug.. i doubt its for the egt
