Ok so here is the new version of my mono red burn, went with Young Pyromancer , Hellspark Elemental and a couple Ball Lightning with Twinflame

The only thing i dont have is the Molten Rain and a few other modern burn spells

I suggest Goblin Guide . It is one of the most dangerous turn one plays the opponent can face in this style of deck.

Spark Trooper ? If not main then sideboard for aggro vs aggro matchups where they may be faster than you.

Ever consider Sundial of the Infinite to keep your elementals from dying on the end step? Granted you'd prolly need more than 6 creatures that would make it worth it, but its an interesting concept.

I wish i could afford to put Goblin Guide into this build

Add one more Lightning Bolt :)

Can't believe no one has suggested some of the cheapest burn staples yet but here we go:
Staples:
Rift Bolt instant playset and pseudo-lightning bolt 5-8
Lava Spike Ditto and pseudo-lightning bolt 9-12
Shard Volley because you didn't need those lands anyway (If only Fireblast was legal.
Other Stuff:
Since your splashing white 3-4 Boros Charm should go in here.
Searing Blaze is great as well as Flames of the Blood Hand .
Vexing Devil Some don't like him because of his Browbeat like ability but he is still a one drop and most of the time the opponent is going to pay the four.
More Expensive things to consider when you got the money.
Goblin Guide You already know this so I am not go any further with that.
Eidolon of the Great Revel Practically a staple now.
Cards to Remove:
Twinflame you have very few creatures and very little mana not worth it.
Young Pyromancer he belongs in U/R Aggro not in burn.
Ball Lightning Instant speed removal makes this meh and by turn three they already have blockers so it won't do to much.
Shock Its not doing enough damage.
Desperate Ritual Burn does not need more mana the spells it has are already cheap enough.
Magma Jet if your going to run any at all you probably only want to run two max as burn is trying to maximize damage and the only thing we want to avoid is land.
Well that is all I have for you today I hope this proves to be useful for you. :3

Looking good I just have one major worry, Firedrinker Satyr , this card and modern does not go well together at all even as a budget option. In a format ruled by Lightning Bolt (Which is almost any deck splashing red and there are a ton of those) it turns it into a Searing Blaze for a single mana or turn a Searing Blaze in a mirror match into a Searing Blaze in a half. If that wasn't bad enough you still have to worry about big blockers like Tarmogoyf who make it dead it its tracks. I would heavily suggest you replace it with Lava Spike (as this card is mandatory for burn) when your able too. :3

I am stuck using what i have untill i can aqquire the modern cards i need to make this more of a tier one deck. But now that I am more informed about the Firedrinker Satyr i think i will remove him from the deck. thanks for the input

I am severely surprised no one has thought to add Lightning Serpent ... just saying it is great for late drops when three or four is not enough... it works well.

Got my Lava Spike Shard Volley and Molten Rain on the way in the mail!
September 30, 2014 2:06 p.m.
Now I just need some fetch lands and a couple Goblin Guide and I should be a little more competitive.

Except you need to switch Lightning Strike for Lightning Bolt silly goose.

Kiln Fiend would be ideal with all the instants and sorceries being flung around

Twinflame on a Ball Lightning seems pretty cool.
