Jon,

Is your '95 an auto or 5spd?
My '95 auto would burn 'em when it was new, but it is pretty rare now when I
get a good squeal.
Obviously with the 5spd it is a little easier, do you have the LSD too?
I figure between the Auto/LSD, 3.55 gears, and 30x9.5's - I'll be lucky to
get a healthy squeal from the line.

Not too bad a thing, since traction is the name of the game. But it would be
nice to send a message every once in a while!

Well, i've got a real dak (95) but from a dead stop I can burn 'em
through 1st gear and on a good day part of 2nd.
