Default I left some tire...

Hehe, today I was just fooling around, the car felt like it was on the ball today. So I pushed brake in, and floored it, what happend? Fish a tailing/tires a spinning. Looked back and I left quite a few marks. I did this like 4 times today.

Now I can't wait till i tune it up. I want to be able to break them lose without powerbreaking(with 350lbs of tq, it should do it easly)

I still think your hang up is your 1500 stall torque converter.

Well see. I know that I left about 7 feet of tire behind, but no smoke.

It was great though, very fun to do
