Can't burn out
But the car still seems fast and pulls hard? At most I get a little chirp. it would have no problem before the tires, as they were old, but still. I can't imagine these street tires being that sticky? What should I check? Everything is in fine tune, and no codes? 2800 converter too high? I'm used to TPI cars being hard off the line?

Re: Can't burn out (TexCorvette)
Whats the rear gear ratio? Also try to adjust the TV cable if its need adjustment.
ALso check the clamp on the throttlebody and make sure the screw isnt where the throttle opens up..I once tightened it down there and the car wouldnt go WOT as easy, and found the darn thing was in the way, making the throttle bracket hit it and not open 100%.
I wasnt able to adjust the TV cable either the right way.
Mustve happened when I put the duct back on and left the screw too high up on the clamp.
