I see all these post over on the place, stating "My tires will just shred off and fly into orbit from a standing punch" My question is how much of this is BS. Cause with no brake boosting my truck wont squeal the tires until it hits 2nd gear.

Would my 315-75-16 tires affect this that bad?

mine has zero movement in 1st gear-just massive tire spin-hits rev limiter then 2nd smokes tires about 30 ft or so-3rd gear spins about 5-10 ft
this is on dry pavment no boost at launch just hammerin the loud pedal:D

Neither truck will even get close to breaking them loose from a dead stop without powerbraking...The dually will bark 2nd gear with some torque table changes, but my LLY rarely chirps the 285s...Maybe all these stories come from trucks with 245s :confused:

Team Salad Homework!!!

I have a homework assignment for all of you!!!

You have to try to "roast your tires" without doing a brake stand, on dry pavement (painted areas don't count either). We will all compare our results to see what we come up with. Your homework assignment is due on Thursday evening.:angel:

*extra credit for video of your experiment*

Happy:driving:

I'll try it as soon as my head gaskets are fixed. I might even get the wifey to record it. I was watching LB7 Diesel's video and go on to BMDMax's and she happened to see them. Her question---Is that why your truck is in the shop--to be able to do that now? :D I told her I need a bigger turbo first! :angel:

My truck has always been an under achiever.:(

I just went out and played in my 01 lb7 stock everything except ~130-140 horse tune. It will start to squeal them in first.

I think we (the lly guys) are still missing some tq tables in efi.
