Burnout with Tahoe 5.3?

[PG01]

We have an event called American Beauty Car Show in July and there is a big car parade in the end, where most of the cars are doing burnouts for the crowd.

I do not think that I have a traction control, but I think that I have LSD. The milage is around 200 000. When I tried the burnout I reved the motor up to 3000 I think and as the wheels were not starting to spin, I became sorry for the transmission. My idea is, when the rear brakes are not on, than it would be easier to spin the wheels and the load to transmission should be lower also.

Put a little transmission fluid under the tires before you start, itll spin the tires right off the rims...

A line loc is one option, but you could add a make-shift water applicator to the rear wheels from a junk yard windshield washer purchase. Should be cheap, easy, and not too difficult to engineer.

Not really a burnout, but it was quite easy to spin the tires when it rained and I waited for the green light on an intersection. But the rear diff locked almost immediatelly and stopped the fun. The G80 might not be a best for this kind of fun as it locks up 100% after slippage is sensed.

Maybe the best way is to find a set of old and hardened tires (summer or all-weather type) and prepare few barrels of water. I have also heard that shifting into 1 turns off traction control, but I can't really tell.

No our body style didn't have traction control. BTW mine won't even do a burnout without an LSD so I have no idea what to do. Keep a water jug in the back? lol

Or turbo. EASY fix

Spray bottle with bleach; old school.

When I was in school, a kid extended his windshield washer lines, and plumbed them right above his rear tires. Every time he wanted to smoke the tires he'd hit the windshield washer button! Too funny, but it worked.

I have a stock 2004 Tahoe 5.3 4x4 and it is not able to do a burnout with 2WD.

But if to disable rear brakes or add line lock, would it be able to do a burnout? Has anyone tried it?

My 01 5.3 won't brake stand either

I don't know if you could do this but it is just an idea, maybe disable the rear brakes somehow? and then just sit on the front brakes with the water trick to the rear tires?
