Flamethrowers don't work on EFI vehicles and vehicles with cats. You need to be able to dump raw fuel into your exhaust for it to burn. You could always put a propane kit on it but that's kinda dangerous as well.

3 way fuel filter
2 coils
2 plugs
2 nitrous solonoids in line on each side on a dual exhaust car.

That's the short of it. SnakeEater has wiring diagrams and pictures on his webshots album.

no...however that would be sweet! lol what you do is rev to a high RPM and you push a button that makes your car kind of stall...or "shut down" momentarily which allows the raw fuel to travel through your exhaust and is ignited by a spark plug at the end of your tips. in an auto you woould have to put car in Nuetral while driving, REV, then push the button! AND if you watch that vid it looks like his car stalled and had to restart it at the end!
doesnt seem real safe or that good for your car! looks cool but doesnt seem worth the damage you could cause....and the amount of gas you would waste! i bought one and its been sitting in my garage for like a year now. i have played with the idea...but not sure! looks cool none the less...cool vid...
i always thot it would be cool to use on someone who was tailgating your *** they would get off your *** REAL fast then

Well the other way, you don't have to cut the ignition. That's the lame *** way. Using that shitty auto-loc kit.

3 way fuel filter, nitrous solonoids, coils, spark plugs and BIG flames.

None of that ***** ****.
