1989 corvette burnout

I’m struggling to do a burnout in my 1989 corvette while doing a burnout it won’t go past 1900 rpm’s but when I let off the brake it jumps and moves past 1900 rpm’s any thoughts on this ?

Try pedal to the metal and then brake the milisecond you feel the tires spinning. Empty flat area ofc

At least you've identified the stall speed.

Get the tires wet first. If it still doesn't do it, put a line lock in. If that doesn't work, big block swap it

it spins but won’t go past 1900 rpm’s which is weird because a month ago I had them burning rubber with smoke flying everywhere.

Any chance your throttle linkage is sticking and not allowing full throttle?

honestly yes there is a chance I have a small kink in the line that I have straightened to the best of my ability. How ever i literally put all of my weight on the gas to get it down as far as it would go and nothing changed.
