Heh, that's how I started, but I learned fast. Don't let the truck go faster than you can steer, and let the front wheels point you in the right direction. I've noticed in these trucks it will naturally want to steer into it a little on it's own.

But it's a good show.

my old junker....

I dug a hole in the pavement that day... and turned a 6 month old tire into junk.

No, epic fail! - I think I'm going to switch to a solid flat tappet cam. Gearing is a big problem, but I don't want to buzz down the highway at 5000 RPM. That and winter is upon us, so I need a project to last me a few weeks.

Check the HP forum for details

wait... I never got a t shirt!
I FEEL VIOLATED NOW!
All I was handed was a broom and shovel as my buddy says "Dooooode, that was bad ass, but you better sweep up your new tire before the boss man gets back".

If its an automatic & you push on the brakes too hard it can make the trans slip
It wears out your brake shoes
And if you have an open rear end, you will wear it out pre-maturely, or sling the spider gears out of it if you spin one tire too fast
You can over rev your engine if you dont have a tach or are not paying attention
And last but not least, its addicting & you tend to use tires up faster than normal

No, its not the best thing, but its fun

brad_man_72 · 10-14-2009, 10:40 PM

that pretty much sums it up, amen to the addicting part !

tip number 7

buy several sets of ugly rear rims, that way you can buy all the $10 tires you can get your hands on and keep frying them off without wasting good ones.

I've not broken any yet.

I've killed two sm465's. Put a saginaw in so i wouldn't be as tempted to do them anymore

Drift backwards down a hill and,when you`re rolling real good,slam it into "L" while you stomp it! If it doesn`t do a burnout just shoot it.

YES!!! J-hooks

My 82 firebird 2.5 liter wouldn't even do it. Just chirped the tire a little bit.

I've read through most of these post and don't think I have heard this one being posted. This was me when I was 16 back in '84. I must say that a '69 Chevelle is not a bad car for your 16th birthday. The way you do a burnout is to get your friend to lift up on the back right corner of your bumper. While the tire starts to slowly turn, he needs to run back up and resume the roll of pitures taker. One of the greatest motor ever built was the GM 307!!!!!! 78 BHP and about 62 Ft lbs of torque!!!!! LMAO

Yep....I can spin em in any gear at almost any speed.

Longhorn Man · 10-15-2009, 01:25 PM

the 82 4 cylinder firebird came with 197/70R14 inch tires... I was able to do brake stands all day long on ours. It may only have 90 horses, but it has 4.11 gears and a one wheel drive diff.
Embarassing when you pop the hood huh?
My dad had one when I was in high school

Mine had 15" aluminum wheels... I believe they were 225/65's or so. I couldn't even brake torque it unless it was wet.

Yeah, when people would ask "what's that have in it? a 2.8?" -- it was hard to reply with no, a 2.5

I thought the 3.1L was bad... I forgot about you poor Iron Puke guys.
