About burnouts

I didn't get a chance to respond , because the thread was closed because of the nice language some of you use . If you want to see what your truck will do , do a holeshot not a burn out , with a stick just dump the clutch & nail it , no brake , with an auto just hold the brake till the converter is ready to unload then let off the brakes & nail it. If it dosn't spin the tires then , your getting good traction or your truck has no ***** . A burnout is done at the strip in the water box to heat up big slicks that need to be hot to hook up good. Most street tires & drag radials don't need alot of heat to work good , so a long burnout is not nessesary . Doing this on the street dose nothing IMO. Take it to the strip or a nice wide road with no traffic or side roads . You want your truck to jump out of the hole with the least amount of tire spin as possable , traction bars , ladder bars, tires , shocks all help with this ....Lew
