Cant Rev Past 2000 When Doing a Burnout
I drop it into 1st, powerbrake, and floor it. It revs immedietly to 2000rpm and stays there. When I let off the brake and start moving forword the rpm's pick up to about 4000, then I let off. Is it just cuz I have 2.73's?

You must have the infamous traction control option.
Your torque converter has a stall speed of approximately 2000 rpm. So your motor will only tach up to 2000 rpm and then the car will start moving.

I didnt think any 3rd gens had any type of traction control device. Dose that option show up in the RPO's? How do I change it?

See I new there was no such thing as traction control on 3rd gens. My frickin LO3 would do burnouts to 4000rpm while powerbreaking. How can my LB9 not? Its got 40 more HP and 30 more ft. pounds of torque

Now that I think about it, even my 2.8 would rev to whatever I wanted it to go to when burning out. Are all LB9's like this?

My LB9 would rev up to whatever I wanted when I was doing a burnout.
I usually brought it up to 3500 or so

As ME stated, you're going up against the TC.
I tried doing a burnout with my new powerplant. I blew out my rear end.

Even with a higher stall torque converter, you should be able to rev past that with enough throttle.
Does the car have a 2-stage rev limiter by any chance that a previous owner may have installed?

Shake Zula- We need more power scotty
Car- I cant do er cap'n
It could have a bit to do with those high gears in the rear but i would think it would still do better than that.

I loved flash blizzards when I lived up north -- I'd be the only guy on the road doing donuts in the fresh snow.

No rear disc brakes. Engine has 39K original miles. Went from a 45mph dig with a Camaro that runs 14.3 stayed right beside him clear up to 95mph, so its running good. It cannot be a matter of not enough power. Once I let off the brake the rpms pick up while the tires are still spinning.

Sounds like you have a fully functioning automatic transmission and braking system.

I was thinking good brakes+ good tires. There P245 Eagle GT 2's. Im gonna try breaking them loose, let the car move forword so it revs, then powerbraking. Like I said it has no problem keeping up with a low14 sec car going from a pull, so its running good, cant complain too much.

let some pressure off your brakes, cars can be very finiky when attempting to do break stands if you don't have a huge amount of power and good breaks.
Better yet, get a line lock.

I gott ask,
Why are you so worried about powerbraking this turd?
obviously traction is ample,so there's no need to heat the tires.
So my suggestion is,STOP IT DUMMY!All your gonna accomplish is melting down your tranny.

He wants to be cool like me and make a intersection have zero visibility
Not that i would ever do anything dumb like that
It is purely a lack of power or over braking, so either let up on the breaks, get a line lock or start working on the motor.
