One of the worst things you can do to your engine as far as exhaust seals, gaskets and piston rings is rev it up turn it off, plant it and then turn it on. The pressure you get in the engine is emense. Hense the flames and you can pretty much make any early car do it weather it be tuned or not.
But i think your looking for something like this. Uprated exhaust, cams as said above, and NOS on throttle activation so when he decks it, it pumps extra fuel and NOS through the system lol. Check it out, no flame kit here lol.
