my blazer would do that stuff too... when it had the stock motor and trans now i can "brake stand" till my tires melt off.. i had a posi locker put in and when i launch it only chips and than goes with my 245/35/20's. when it shifts to 2nd it leaves patches

Anything with wheel We run 4 wheelers some times here on the weekends. I even seen lawn mowers, and tractors with car engines[>:]

Edit: No the lawn mowers did not have car engines so no ideas.. Only the tractors.

See I find it if our trucks were lighter we would be so much better. My truck feels like its giong to roll in turns ect, and it just feels like a sloppy pig lol. My Jeep was never like that but also 1500lbs lighter. Same thing with my buddies explorer. Our trucks would be a heck of a lot better if they were lighter. I wouldent even want to know my 1/4 mile. I have an Cold Air Intake and a Super 40 exhaust, and it it helped alot but if the truck was lighter it would be a dream come true.

i ran a 17 without launching my blazer at all.. i wouldnt reccomend launching a automatic trans, the torque converters tend to balloon up and then explode......
