Try installing a smaller gasoline tank in the trunk, stick a wee pipe, route it down towards your exhaust exit, wire up to a little button in the cockpit and bingo you will have flames at your fingertips!!
This does away with the uncertainty and anxiety that you are currently experiencing. |

Come on man, don't be so serious, you're the one who want to shoot flames from a "slow" naturally aspirated 2.0 litre lightweight sports car. When posting stuff like that you should know that we will have a little fun with you.
On a more serious note, I've done worst thing than that in my youth, so I'm not judging you (almost not). But since it's a mod that YOU won't even see while driving the car, you'll attract all sort of unwanted attention. I'm sure someone here will be able to get you a proper answer here, but you will get more funny comments down the road...just don't get mad. |

Well since at least you have a good sense of humor I will tell you that one way is to run the car rich and then have spark plugs in the mufflers at the end. This is a way dumping gas out and burning it back their that's fairly contained/controlled.

In a modern car you have to have a pro do it unless you want to get a tactrix cable and try your luck at doing your own mapping... and either way you will probably want to rent dyno time.

Or maybe fire the injector during or just before the exhaust cycle so it just sucks a little fuel out?
