No need for a flamethrower, but I could sure use an anti-tank weapon most every day during my commute.

Now I would not dump raw gas through the cats either but thats why I said on a EFI you dont do it but plumb propane with an electric valve. Its not as dangerous to install and make work as you would think. I think with my switch, capacitor, ballast, coil, plugs and valve, I might of had $50 invested in it. My plugs are still screwed into my tips but not used.

What about just shoving a hose up your butt and eating a lot of TacoBell?

There is no dumping raw gas through your cats. This mod cannot be done with Cats in place. it uses unburned gases to produce a flame.
Any spark plug can work, it makes a difference how far back from the tip it's installed. You also need to attach a wire to the coilpack to produce the high voltage needed to arch a spark plug. Going all the way back to the back of a truck is a tough task to keep the high current flow.
Not a mod if you don't know how stuff works oor how to wire things. You will end up hurting yourself and your ride.

Lmao. Right when I read the part about putting gasoline up the exhaust pipe I had to stop reading because I was LOL'ing to freakin loud. Please don't set your truck on fire while you're doing 60mph on the road.

I've seen flamethrowers on old 40's and 50's Hotrods and it kind of a cool novelty but those cars have no catalytic converters and no delicate electronics to worry about frying. I'd say spend your money somewhere else.
