I’ve seen plenty of kits available for this but the all only give 6-12 inch flame
I want to inject fuel to get 3 foot flames
Any ideas??
 
I know this has nothing to do with what you're trying to do but... I had a 71 Roadrunner, 340 automatic. I put headers and glass packs on it. Then pipes on a 45 came out ahead of the back tires. I'd be coming down a hill and downshift. It would shoot a 3 foot flame out the exhausts. Sorry, this was in the 70's so I don't have a cell phone video.

Love it I’m definitely a pyromaniac. The ignition is the easy part but after researching it I going to have to get creative for the fuel delivery

Just need to rework a diesel fuel injector and an electric fuel pump. Theres all kinds of ways to light it off.
 
Something tells me this is one of those; "Hold my beer & watch this". I pretty sure that something like that might end up with people in jail now days.

Seriously it’s all for fun, old school effect, and me wanting to blow someone’s doors off while shooting
Flames out. Anyway I’m
not a drinker lol
 
The "Hold my beer & watch this" is an expression that when you hear it, it usually means a hospital visit is in the very near future for somebody/somebodies.

I’m 62 and all my risk taking behavior ended when my son was born 25 years ago
 
Had a 4 banger Dakota once that burnt the wires to the crank position sensor, and driving along it would ground the sensor and shoot a 2 foot flame out tail pipe. Dad said it looked cool lol
 
Back in the 50's they would mount a spark plug in the tailpipe for ignition. They they dropped half the cylinders, probably by grounding them out. I have also heard of a cable that would retard/advance the distributor. Never done it myself but read up about it years ago. Now they have simple kits to do it so no home brewing like they used to do.

Thanks I’m thinking that I will set up the fuel spray tube on the nitrous plate
And then I will only need an ignition source
 
Ok, how about one better. Hook up a pump to spray gas on your rear tires. Set up your spark ignition close to the tires. Back to the future flaming tire tracks?

Used to do this with Clorox for burnouts in my youth (without the spark). Had a button on the dash & a windshield washer pump and copper tubing in the trunk to squirt on the tires. Chickened out before trying it with gas......
