Hah. It is a problem for some cars. My friends 1980 crapmaro can't even light up the tires in the wet. It has a 305 too. Thing is, its probably only putting out 50hp right now. The car sucks overall.

Do you mean burn out by this?

If so, Rev it to 7k Pop the clutch and press the brakes with the left foot.

I would do burnouts in Reverse with my 81 Toyota Wagon all the time. A buddy of mine did not belive it untill I went by his house in Reverse smoking. Never tried a Donut in reverse, Pleanty of 180 turn arounds though.

HAHa I just got a brand new clutch, centerforce dual friction on a stock FB, I can light em up all daylong. They spinlike crazy, but dont smoke until I get into second. And I can only get into second if Im doing doughnuts. But in a straight line, I can burn most of 1st, bark 2nd really long and hard, and chirp third pretty well. I have yet to do any doughnuts w/ the new clucth, its gonna be nuts when I do.

Dropping at 8K. thats what lead me to replacing my cltuch. I wouldnt do that to often, its really hard on everything.

I agree with tanjo. You really only need to drop it at 4000-5000 rpm to get the burnout going. 8000 rpm is crazy, especially on a stock clutch. I wouldn't dream of doing that even on a HD clutch.

Wow 8000rpm dump.... That is harsh, the most I have ever needed to do is 3500-4000rpm even on 225 wide tires, I'm surprised you U-joints are still intact let alone the clutch
