I know what ur all gonna say but this flamer kit is purely to see what sort of flame my car can make. (not for road use) im gonna try get into car shows this summer and have a go with it there.
I had a go at making a flamer kit today but it didn't work, i had just a coil, lead, s.plug, toggle switch and obviously didn't work
dunno what i was thinking also melted a wire from the battery to the switch.
Im after a little list of how to do it properly, wiring and what parts to use if someone could take the time to do so.
I saw this a bit ago so now i want a flamer kit and a 2.9 BOA for my Sierra in the future.

run a heavier wire to a relay at the coil, and use a switch to trigger the relay giving the coil power.
how does your coil work? will it spark when powered up, or do you need a trigger for it? thats probably what the control box in the kit does.

If you use a standard coil, wouldn't it spark only when you turn the switch on and off rapidly? Like the ignition trigger in old distributors...
Battery+ to coil +
Battery - through a rapid trigger to coil -
If its constantly on, that's why it melted the wire

Not entirely sane

The couil will only fire when you make and break the primary voltage to it. The controllers have a timing circuit to rapidly switch the coil voltage. Without this, the coil would be permanently live when you apply power, hence no spark and a burnt out feed wire. A proper flamer kit with control box will only ever cause a flame if you have unburned fuel and oxygen in the exhaust, this is not very likely unless you do something to the fuelling system as well.

Please just buy one in a kit if you're gonna do it at all. We don't wanna hear on the news that a local car set alight, and spat flames out, torching the neighbours cat etc

Everything you need! But some car already have little flames out the back, would this still work?
