Being exposed to a flame for that short duration I wouldn't think would affect anything. The stock gas tanks in these cars are vented to the front of the car and in to the intake manifold for emissions reasons. As long as you aren't leaking anything, you should be perfectly safe. Gonna post the vid when you are done?

A halon system wouldn't be a bad idea. And a couple buddies with fire extinguishers.

You should be okay hince the fact that you do have a Firebird. I mean why would they call it a Firebird if the bird cant go through fire for a half a second.
