one suggestion might be the kind of tire that you have, I had a pair of
tires that when power breaking would just create a pile of ground up
tire, no smoke and marks left, no nothing. To say more on the issue
those tires where cheap, I was hoping to just make some neat burnout
pics, and don't have any beacuse I'm not going to grind up my new tires
untell I have the money to buy a new pair. =-)

Thanx, Brian

Well I have a 98 4X4, V8, 31x10.5 tires and 3.92 gears with an automatic
transmission also with the JBA headers. The most my tires will do is
just
sqeak a bit, no smoke, no tracks left on the road. I'm wondering why my
truck can't seem to do this and everyone else's can?!
