Stand-still burnout issues

Stand-still burnout issues I am going to sound like an idiot, but I assure you, I know what I am doing!
I tried to do a stand-still burnout in my V the other night. It wouldn't do it. I reved it up, let the clutch go and she started burning. As soon as I put my foot on the brake, the car would try to activate traction control. It almost stalled on me. I tried all 3 settings, T/C OFF, Perf. Mode and Stability OFF. Nothing worked. What am I doing wrong?
What mode do you do your stand-still burnout in with your FOOT ON THE BRAKE ?

I need to check my tables but I'm wondering if there is a torque management table in the ECM that may be futzing with this. I might also be over complicating this.
Edit: I just looked at the torque management table and with this car I don't think it is an issue. I can't see anywhere that torque management is limited in a specific RPM range, which is what you have with a lot of automatic trannys. That said there may be another limiting table or calibration in place, I'm sure someone will chime in with an exact answer.

I havent had mine long enough to really abuse it like this, but i know in automatic vehicle GM has what they call "abuse mode" which is different than torque management. If it senses wheel slip in the back compared to the front, itll limit power. I turned it off in my truck and was able roll the tires off after. Maybe its on these too? I havent tried a standstill but I can roll the tires off through an intersection pretty good.

Yes, I can do a rolling burnout as well from a stop. What did you turn off on your truck so it would burn?

when i was out for a drive today i did some testing for ya.
i did 2 back to back burnouts.
first one i had just tc off, dumped the clutch in first, sat there for a few secconds then launched, once i started spinning the 2nd the stability cut the power.
seccond burnout, i had stability off, started out in first, sat there, powershifted into 2nd, and dragged it out around one hundered feet, no loos of power.
id def say you have a tune issuie(dunno if its possible) or maybe a abs sensor acting up, or maybe your emergency brake is sticking,
maybe shoot a video of your problem, might help
