Default Difficult burnout...

..I just installed a 04 GTO LS1/A4 on my 73 camaro RS, the car is running great!! everything work OK, during the weekend we went for a trip (650 miles+-) and the engine gave me 26 mpg, (lockup is working great) my diff relation is 2.73:1 and is open.
The car is really fun to drive, but it is imposible to do a burnout. Completely stop y step a little on the brakes and push the gas pedal... but the engine sound strange, like if the ECU retard it so the wheels can not spin.. if I take the brake pedal the engines rev up and the wheels spins.. but the car start moving while the wheel is spining..... and no stop burn out is made... what can be the problem? maybe the lockup connection donīt leave me make a burnout? any ideas of what can be wrong?

sounds like torque management is still on its probably recognizing the brake is on and retarding the timing thats what it does in the trucks and especially camaros
