What does it take to burn rubber????? (Just thinking an automatic, since a clutch is easy to dump) |

Install a line lock in the front brakes, and you can burn all the rubber you want. Roger |

Aw, heck, you don't need a line lock. All you need to burn rubber is a match. |

Heck, I thought the whole idea was to go as quick and as fast as possible WITHOUT burning rubber... 'sides that stuff's expensive. Steve |

My very tired '69 2 barrel 225 (all stock) can easily burn both tires with a bit of help from the brake pedal. |

My Duster won't spin the tires in a straight line but jerk the wheel real hard and it will sit there and smoke em'. 2.76 gears really take a bite out of the burnout ability. |

with the old 2.76 I could smoke the passenger tire but not with the suregrip in either the 3.23 or 3.91. I am also running 235/60R14's, it takes a lot of power to spin 2 of them at once. |

Remember the early 80's, when I and my friend in his Dart -69 made some fireburnouts and a couple of days later found a leak from the petroltank. Could had been a heck of a fireburnout. |

Neutral drops (rev engine in neutral, drop it into first) burn rubber, and trannies too. |

| Post subject: | Finally got mine to smoke 'em |
My 80 aspen finally learned how to smoke them (that's right, both tires) in the burn out box. Here is a list of modifications, and it took every one before it would do it. 2bbl carb tuned to dump plenty of fuel on demand. 2 1/4 exhaust, mild head port, advanced the stock cam just a couple degrees (gives it better low end grunt), 2.94 sure grip rear end, super short 195-60-15 rear tires, I can't believe that Phil can't smoke with 3.91 gears ?? Even on wet pavement Phil? I know you've got lots more horsepower than me? I'd say that rear end gears or a well selected high stall racing torque converter would get you a smoking machine in one easy shot. Cost, about $450. (plus installation) Smoking out the parking lot at the local car hop..... priceless. |

The 3.23 rear gear certainly helps, 2.76 is way too tall IMHO. I have driven 225's with 2.92 gears and that is as tall as I would want as the first gear ratio gets too much. |

there is no problem to get 100 feet of rubber with 4.56 gears. and 150 shot of NOS !!!! but the down side .........tires!! |
