That about sums it up. If that torque being produced by the engine isn't going to rotating the wheels, its got to go somewhere. Let us know what the weak link turns out to be.

How about simply looking like a jackass? Tickets from your friendly neighborhood constabulary for exhibition of acceleration? If you end up wrecking out and killing someone, a witness says you were drag racing/showing off and bingo, you get charged with vehicular assault/vehicular homicide? Tires, brakes, rear diff, transmission, driveshaft, etc.?

So, why does your buddy want to do this again?

Just so you'll know, I only do this at the drag strip to heat them up before a run or at a burnout event where things are monitored and secured. I don't go doing burnouts all over the place.

6L PWR - Good... the strip is a great place for such behavior, if you like treating your truck that way. Not for me, but, different strokes and all.

Mongo - Remember that comment I made about looking like a jackass? Congrats, you win.
