Mine won't either. Makes me mad, dangit !!!!

Actually, the only real race I was ever in, I forgot to turn-off the traction control, barked them hard off the line... and fell on my face. Can't get it to do it again, tho ???

With my 35's I can let a 10' patch from a dead stop. With the 36x14.50's, its a whole nother story. With a little brake its nothing to lay down 100'+ with stockers.

P.S. I have a 93 Octane Westers MAX tune.

Heh, even in mine (K1500, 5.3, G80, 3.73 ... which a much lighter truck than the 2500) it's near impossible to do that. Stinkin torque management!!! Luckily, my Wester's PCM should be here today (I hope). (1BADHD, I got the 93 tune too ... sounds like I'll be happy)! w000t!!! But yeah, it sucks. For trucks with so much power, that crap really robs you off the line.

I have a Westers 87 tune and I cannot really turn over the tires hard. I still have some torque management in it. I can turn the stockers over no problem when the pavement is wet, but on dry pavement the tires break loose for a few feet and than grab and I go thanks to the Westers!!

I can't even get a chirp out of my 285 Nittos...

Ah, now in the rain is a different story !!!!! I do mondo-brodies and power-drifts everywhere !!!!!! Quad steering rules for goofing off !!!!!!!!

My 1500HD 2wd will spin the 265's pretty good with HPPIII

on 93 octane. 410 gear.

Just got my truck back from the shop...amazing what happens when you don't have you parking shoes touching whatever it is they touch to stop the truck....anyway....now that I have the full performance out of my westers I decided to try it out in the rain..... empty parking lot equals sideways truck still spinnin the wheels through third Now I gotta see if I can do it when it's dry....probably not.....they're 315's

Why would you want to???

Really? Mine will smoke them...And I only have the 5.3...My truck weighs a little less though.

But I agree with JP....Why would you guys want to? That's (at least) $500 in rubber down there....Not to mention the fact that it is hard on everything in the driveline to do it.

Sometimes mine will break loose... and if they start to spin, they really spin!!!

Alot depends on the type of pavement and the outside temp.

I can't get my truck to break them loose but, sometimes it will break them loose at around 15 mph. I haven't ordered my westers or an intake but, I can't wait to see how it does. I think the balding 285/75's have something to do with that.

Right after I got my Wester's and my MT/Rs, my gym sealcoated the parking lot. A couple of days later,I was in a hurry and still 'testing' the Wester's and I left 2 black strips of rubber about 40' ot 50' long. It wasn't intentional at all. It was cool and embarrassing at the same time. Part of me was proud that my truck could do that and the other part was embarrassed that at my age I'd defaced property.

It's not something I would do on a regular basis, or even a 2nd time. But since I dropped in the new PCM I wanted to at least do it once. No such luck.
