With the addition of white you would HAVE to add the Pridemage, Nacatl, Helix, and StP (because these are the best options available and it would be ignorant not to).
If STP was red, would GoyfSligh play it? I guess no: the life gain is quite important when you pack a lot of burn. Here's the list I'm playing:
// Lands
1 [P3] Forest (1)
2 [ARE] Mountain (2)
4 [ON] Wooded Foothills
4 [ON] Windswept Heath
2 [B] Savannah
4 [A] Taiga
4 [A] Plateau

// Creatures
4 [9E] Kird Ape
4 [ALA] Wild Nacatl
4 [TO] Grim Lavamancer
4 [FUT] Tarmogoyf
4 [ARB] Qasali Pridemage

// Spells
4 [B] Lightning Bolt
4 [RAV] Lightning Helix
4 [LG] Chain Lightning
3 [EX] Price of Progress
4 [FD] Magma Jet

// Sideboard
SB: 1 [EX] Price of Progress
SB: 3 [LRW] Gaddock Teeg
SB: 3 [TSP] Krosan Grip
SB: 3 [ALA] Relic of Progenitus
SB: 3 [SC] Sulfuric Vortex
SB: 2 [BOK] Umezawa's Jitte

It's 21 Lands, 20 Creatures and 19 Burn spells, So basically -1 Burn spells, +1 lands +3 Creature compared to whienot's list. That is because you don't have to run Null Rod or Krosan Grips anymore, thanks to Pridemage.

It's quite simple: Better creatures (the ability to beat for 3 or 4 on turn 2) at the exchange of manabase stability. You judge (taking a look at your meta) if the exchange is worth. For more stability you can also choose to run Rift Bolt or Incinerate over Helix and reduce the number of savannahs or plateaus. for basics.
