Well, my LG4 seems to be unwilling to do a burnout at all. I'm installing the Edelbrock Performer intake today, and Headers about mid-June. Think this would help at all? Any tricks to get a good one started in stock form? Thanks

Those mods should give you a decent increase. You'll see more from the headers. Not to tell you what do do or anything but speaking from personal experience........burnouts look cool but they are super hard on the drivetrain. I trashed a rear end and a transmission doing that **** all the time and generally being stupid. Be careful or it could cost you.

Clutch to the floor, Right Foot Heel& Toe the Brake and Gas.

rev it to about 2.5, and Sidestep the clutch, Hold that brake and gas best you can.

Something is going to spin, Either your tires, Or you Clutch

Ummm... Besides the pedal shuffle? A gallon catch can (bleach/water mix) with two washer pumps squirting to the base of your back tires. Works wonders.

Bleach makes a whining sound when spun on; very loud. I left a 50 foot long black streak last night in town. I didnt realize it until i saw it later on in the light. It wasnt a brake toeque either. I just had the brake down to spin the tires then let it up right after. My speedometer read 45-55 mph and i was going about 10-15

Your Lg4 Should really be able to break it loose with ease, You may be Due For a Tuneup, and Make sure that Carb and DIST you slapped on there are In Good Condition.
