Flame throwers have also crossed my mind. Not difficult at all to install. Give it a shot. BTW Thanx for the pics of the hard line/ Demon carb set up. I remember seeing it at the Tuning for Beer gathering last May. I also had been looking at the footage I shot of your vehicle to get a closer look at the fittings at the carb.

The flames aren't for me. I sometimes have flames coming out of my carb. 
That's enough for me.
Don't you have side exhaust? Don't catch your tires on fire.

Only on topic because this has to do with fire and cars. A number of years back, 1999 I believe, I saw this "personal safety system" that some South African company came up with.
It's like an alarm that you can activate. This "alarm" shoots fire up from under your doors. Apparently this is useful if you are being carjacked. While painful for the person trying to jack your car, they claimed the system to be non-lethal.
That would suck. You're trying to jack someone's nice ride, you're having a great day and all of a sudden you're being treated like a shish kebob.
