Nope you don't have enough creatures and since its legacy there are cards that remove pretty much everything you have . Plus you only have a few spells that deal damage and a ton that double it

Your curves too high for legacy, and you aren't winning by turn 4.
Perpetual Johnny. Interactions and originality are preferable to winning, though winning doesn't hurt.

   I see the value in the Red burn spells but I feel that if you added one or even two other colors then you may have more control over game play. Spells are dealing 2x the damage but you have no recovery. If you added some creatures that would decrease your mana curve (such as goblin electromancer) or added creatures that give you health then you can  run this deck without worrying about losing to your own spells.

Poking through some competitive Legacy Burn lists might be instructive. Here's an example.

thank you for replies, hoping to keep mono-red, would some sort of acceleration work? such as simian spirit guide and gitaxian probe and take out some of the doubling damage cards?

  If you use the probe then I would definitely recommend making the deck Blue/Red (U/R). This way you can have your burn AND control without worrying too much about board presence or life loss.
