Chirping 4th gear

Anybody able to chirp the tires when making a 3-4 shift on a completely stock off the showroom floor car? I seem to consistantly manage this, i was just curious if this was normal.

Used to all the time when it was stock, until I put some Nittos on the car. And still hit it every once in a while after a few mods.

I hit 5th one day with the LT4 Hot cam kit and a spec stage 3. Got to thinking about it and never done it again.

Yeah it has a lot to do with tire traction, or lack thereof.

Still pretty cool though ay!

I have lightly chirped the first four gears before 55 mph. The Street Twin helps.

I haven't chirped 4th so far as I could tell. I can usually chirp 3rd on a smooth surface, but not all the time. 1-2, however, is fishtail.

I can hit 4th easily now that I've installed the Z06 clutch and had the drill mod done. Before the clutch would just slip.

Mine actually don't even chirp anymore since I got the Firehawks. My Firestone Firehawk's just spin a few times in the 1st to 2nd shift and sometimes on the 2nd to 3rd shift.
