Burnout-Tire Smoke Hi Guys,
I am wondering why I have little to no smoke from my tires when I do a burnout. I watch other guys and their tires smoke instantaneously once they start their burnout.
This isn't a big deal since I am satisfied with my launch/60 ft but I am just wondering.
In case it matters, I spin the tires for about 5-7 seconds, in first gear. The tires are 28X10.5 mickey thompsons. They might be a bit old, so I wonder if that is an issue?
Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess I am going to have to try 2nd gear next time out!! They are ET Drags.
I have 4:56 gears in it with a 9". Yesterday was my first time out this year and over the winter I gained 30 hp but my mph didn't increase.

i think the 4.56s are to tall.. i think 4.30s would be better

nope try just using the ratios
26/3.89 = 6.684
26/4.10 = 6.341
28/4.30 = 6.51...so he will almost have the same setup as now with 4.30s and rob can almost go through in 3rd now...he needs more gear
28/4.56 = 6.140
so it is just a hair more gear than people that have 26s and 4.10s...
