lol burnout question
 

lol Ok today while goofing off with some police buddies I tried to spin my tires and do a burnout but it wouldn't what am I doing wrong? I pressed the brake and even slowly working in to the go peddle building boost and it still just flatline not doing anything

Doesn't the ECM limit the engine torque with the brake on and not moving? Let the truck roll a little while slightly pushing the brake pedal then at the same time lift on the brake and hammer the throttle.
I don't do this any more because I couldn't afford to be replacing all the tires I was going through while trying to impress the "non-diesel" gas burner crowd I rum with. [duhhh]

Also maybe you could change the torque management setting on the Smarty.

Oh yeah, don't be mad at me when you're faced with a transmission problem.
[nonono]

I can spin mine no problem if I build a little boost.

Hold the brake until you build some boost and let off the go pedal a little then let it rip!

Do that a few times then go to the nearest shop to pull the tranny and replace broken parts! [laugh]

Ok so after reading this there has gotta be something wrong.When I had my smarty jr on either the 70 or 100 hp settings I could spin the tires from a dead stop without powerbraking,only other mods were afe st 2 intake and straight pipe exhaust.I would think with a smarty sr or tnt or ssr that truck should smoke the tires off the rim without any issues.Anyone care to elaborate?

oh i can spin the tire just by hammering it but i was just trying to finish off the already bald tires on my truck

You aren't mashing the brake pedal to the floor are you? There is a sweet spot with the brake pedal and it's just enough to keep the front end planted. I never had an auto 5.9 but I had a six speed that I could do 1st gear brake stands without even touching that throttle, it was all about the right amount of pressure on the brakes.

You want just enough brake to keep the truck from moving.. Start by foot on both pedals to build boost then slowly let off the brake, the tires should start to spin and if the truck starts moving forward slowly start to apply pressure to the pedal to stop it.

It' those darn rear disc brakes! Too much holding power! Times like that I miss the drums!

The safest thing to do is put in a line lock. Then smoke away and you're not toasting your brake pads.
