Make sure you get the tires wet all the way around the surface before trying to do a burnout, otherwise the tires will cherp and grab instead of spinning and getting a good burnout. Also keep good wheel speed during burnout and motor rpms at least 4000 so it doesn't bog, I prefer 5500 rpms in second gear. Get good smoke then let off the brake and let the car move forward out of the waterbox before letting off the gas :)

Nitto D/R 315/35/17... but i found the problem today! woak up and opened the garage and saw a basket ball size if gear oil under my rear diff. broke a seal and the oil was spewing all over the tires! thought i was kinda strange to be spinning in 4th on a VHT treated track. This baby's going into Ford first thing Monday morn. they replaced the leaking diff seal 2 wks ago and it looks like they did something wrong. Warranty will take care of it. Ill post up once fixed.
