You may just need some more miles on the beast. The tires firm up and the
engine seems to improve with age (I trust no one will miss the parallel to
fine wines :^)... My '98 318, 3.55, 31x10.5" Goodsmeers and slushomatic
with 10.5k miles will burn 'em up when I want it to now... I could barely
make 'em chirp when new.

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?!
