I can put it sideways in 3rd gear and can get it to chirp 4th sometimes gets pretty loose its a little more loose than i would want in 4th. 4.56 gears with street tires you have that lol.

Nope, 2nd gear will chirp...not 3rd. Never really shifted it hard into 3rd, usually in trouble at the top of 2nd gear anyways.

I could chirp third in my M6 all stock, even the sloppy shifter, but with not so great tires. Now I can still get it with better tires full bolt ons and good shifter. I can also get a downshift chirp though I know one of these times will be the end of my 10 bolt.

If the clutch is good, you can chirp 4th with bolt ons. I did, even at the track on Nittos.

I had no trouble chirping (and often sliding around into) third on street tires. Can't say I ever spun in 4th (even with my mods and 3.90's).

Tossed the 315 drag radials on the rear and the 2-3 shift is now a quick chirp and it's on it's way. 600+ rwhp on spray.

You guys need some suspension help. My 400 hp cam only SS never chirped third and my 408 car barely did when it was a 6 speed.

Seriously. Or they are shifting way to early keeping the Rpms up to force the spin. Buy some drag radials. Getting grip is way better than spinning.

You all know what they say, Spinning isn't winning.

So shifting into third at 4500 rpms instead of 6000 you are more likely to spin? thought it would be the other way around hah

I've almost lost it in fourth before when I was bone stock, slammed fourth at 90 and back end went out fast. I was on snow tires and a slightly damp road, very bad idea

When I first installed my LS7 clutch (stock) it would bark them in 3rd and even 4th a few times. My 10 bolt is legendary strong, still sounds like stock and I've beat the **** out of it. Here's what 3rd gear rubber looks like with 3.42's.
