A couple ways to do a burnout is by using a line lock (which involves re-plumbing the front brakes, a solenoid that holds line pressure to the front is installed in-line), or just by holding the brakes with one foot while holding the gas with the other. You may be able to pull it off seeing that your v6 is mildly built, but it will be tricky. You will likely need to bring the RPMs up as you did, holding the brake and gas with one foot, and letting off the brake with the other. It takes some practice, but it's doable. I've done a couple (and only a couple) in mine (with the old worn out 305 no less), and usually after I got a tire spinning I would quickly let off the brake with my right heel and hold it with my left foot, letting off after so many seconds. If you manage to do one, let off the gas and let the engine rpms be pulled down as the car accelerates, it will give much less shock to the drivetrain than if you just let off the gas... the tires stop almost instantly, which forces the transmission, driveshaft/u-joints, and rearend (even the engine if you don't press the clutch back in) to stop spinning just as suddenly as the tires. I haven't done any with the new engine, I don't really need to with all the torque it has now :lol: Also though, I haven't beat on the car with the new engine because I'm sure I'm on borrowed time with the 3-speed and box-stock 2.29 7½" rear.
