I think this is part of the culprit for my lowsy d/r 60's. I never can get a good burnout because the car starts drifting to the side. I have to let off and pull through early because I'm almost completely sideways. What causes this and how do I prevent it? Would line locks help?

dont worry about doin a burnout.
your sliding a bit b/c one wheel is gettin more power than the other or some crap. get posi!
you dont need to do a huge smoke show. Just spin em quickly to clean em off and warm them up a bit.
Otherwise, your just loosing milage on the tires.-Justin-<br />Red 1996 Camaro RS- Wrecked 11-1-03...<br /><br />1991 Camaro RS -
wrong he has drag radials he needs to make um smoke the best thing would be a line lock so u can lock the front breaks soild and the rears have no pressure on them makes burnouts so much easier<b><a href=\"http://www.sick-sixx.com\" target=\"_blank\">SICK-SIXX MEMBER</a></b><br />NA 14.345 with a 1.863 60 foot<br />Nitrous 13.03@99.5 with a 1.63 60 foot<br /><br />2000 Camaro 3.8L A4: USE TO HAVE Comp Cam 210/220 .535/.547 113lsa 111 I/C, Port and Polished Heads, NX Wet Kit 100 Shot, CPRA made by CP, RK Sport HeadersComment

As mentioned by slacker (and in my original post, that's what I meant by "d/r") I'm on drag radials. I DO NEED a big smoke show. Also I'm not just sliding "a bit" ... I'm really pulling. The rear always moves to the left. As for more power going to one wheel, I have a torsen differential (a pretty new one at that), so that should not be the case.

Another thing just occurred to me... this only happens when I have the drag radials on. Street tires this doesn't happen.-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beaterComment

they grip better..more weight it on the left side so the left tire (when cold) is gonna get more traction and will heat up faster
try a counter weight ;) ...naa....um maybee change the air pressure, add a little more air to left tire when its cold 1-2 psi...might work?...just a guess...hope ya figure it out ;)

I'm with Nikon, add a few psi's to Mr. Lefty so he doesnt grip as well... it will keep it from going left on you [img]smile.gif[/img]
If you need to, lightly pull on the Ebrake during the burnout with a linelock to keep it under control.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Line lock arrived today. Installing tomorrow. We'll see what happens from there.-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beaterComment
