Wideband lambda, and a timing light were the two best things i bought.
Wideband lambda works over the afr range 10 - 22.
Basic just a voltmeter + controller will be £100 - 150, or an inovate lm2 £300(logs data, rpm etc).

best bet is to take it to a rolling road tuners for the first tune up.
You might need to change some jets and it's really hard to get this right at home.
after you know all the jets are right setting the idle screws and butterflies is straight forward enough.
you might want to tinker with the ignition timing and advance it somewhat to stop the flames and backfiring.
have you got the vacuum advance connected?
"That thing you're thinking - it wont be that."

Sounds Like timing and a bit of overfuelling. Are you using a pressure regulator ?
My twin 40's did the flame thing when hanging down quickly looks impressive at night
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Sounds OK to me, enter it in BTCC
(Otherwise yes, overfuelling)
