I know this might be a dumb question but I gotta 05 5.3 with a 218/218 cam and LT's and 243 heads and I still cant get it to burn rubber? what would be the easy way to to a burn out with out doing damage to the tranny? my tires are 275/4/20.

 

Do you have a tune on the truck? I bet its the torque management that is keeping you from smoking it up. The trans is a problem that you will have to deal with sooner or later but I would pull some of the torque management

 

yeah it has a tune and most of the TM should be removed It's a nelson performance tune

 

Thats wierd you should be able to smoke the tires off the rims.

 

I know I have a stock converter in there I tried brake stallin it it didn't work I even tried putting it in neutral and then in drive...

 

I have no idea. I do burnouts like no other of course i peg leg them but YOu should be smoking the tires off of it

 

you are doing neutral drops??? yeah, you must enjoy the gratifying purchase of transmissions...

There's no reason with that setup you shouldnt be smashing those tires... call Allan

 

My cold air intaked and exhaust 1999 5.3L smokes the rear tires like no tommorow.......i think you got a problem with something.

 

You have to play with the brakes a little bit. If not all of your TM is out and there's still a little there you won't have enough TQ at the low RPM's to break free the tires. Once you break free it's all smoke from there on out.

Look at this vid of one of my burnouts. It had a small tune in it at the time and still had alot of TM in it. I had to release the brakes a tiny bit twice just to get the RPM's a little out of the lower RPM band.

Let us know if this works for you!

 

Yea, my truck bone stock would powerbreak, I also had a 2000 with 22s on it, and that would also do it with a lil fancy break work. You should have no problem, maybe the cam moving the power up a lil and no stall might be an issue to? If ur neutral dropping it? can we get a vid? Id really love to see that......
