Why can't I smoke the tires?
So last night my Son & I went for a ride after installing a j-hook. He's 5 & wanted me to do a burnout. Well, no dice. Builds boost, rpms come up, blows a ton of smoke, but no tire spin!
She's got a Smarty, Level 7, default settings on tq, timing, duration, fass 95/95, s&b intake, 4" straight pipe, j hook.
Seems like I should have enough power to light them with it bone stock.
Also, trans was built a year ago. Billet tq conv, line psi kit, valve body, all kinds of hardware.
Any ideas?

what is the stall on your billet T/C? hp is built high in the rpm's so a low stall will fully engage to early. if its got lots of boost and smoke means engine is under load so tranny probally is not slipping

The trick is to get the wheels rolling first. So its more of a stomp on it while rolling and then hammering the brakes. If you have the brakes on full hold, it will be hard to break it loose.
If that 75 gallon tanks is full, it will be hard to get them to spin. I can't break my 97 loose very easy either unless its wet pavement as I have a few hundred lbs in equipment and tools in there.

Thanks All, I'm glad to know its not just mine doing it. Yeah, I was power braking. I've got discs all the way around, dunno if I can back em off at all.
I'll try adjusting those setting in the smarty. Thanks Dieselwrks.
I had messed with those setting before, but didnt know what i was doing, she didn't run very well. Thats why I set it back to defaults.

You've got to build boost, let off the brake a little, then get back on it.
Throw a little dirt under the tires, get them going. Once they do...

I'll give it a shot next time I get to drive her. I'm in work truck hell right now. Powersmoke. Ugh. Makes me really appreciate my Cummins.
