I have ACT, EXEDY and Tilton clutches on sale. I also have 2 5sp trannys and 3 transfercases both ACD and non ACD for those who break theirs and do not have the time or $$ for a rebuild. PM me if needed after your burnouts.

Why's that? NO different than any other car doing a burnout. In fact, I do much less spinning and spit back much less debris than a true FWD or RWD burnout. Not sure what your comment was referring to...

sorry for taking so long to reply, but your right when the tires are wet its a lot less stress but street tires dont even respond better enough to make it worth a burn out, they are created to be ready at stock driving temperatures.
plus doing a burn out is harder than not doing one... every time you do one you put your drivetrain at risk, and wear that much more tire.
i just dont think its worth doing one unless you have tires that need to be heated up, and you are trying to break records..
