burnouts or smoke shows? You don't (er, shouldn't) need the brakes at all for a burnout.

Heya RollinThunder you dont need a line lock for doing any burn outs or brake stands, It looks like youre car has plenty of power the hood, All you would need just drop a couple of buckets of water down on the ground the heat the tires up with a burnout that way, you wont burnt out youre rear brakes, If you want to add a line lock system that would be good too, Its youre choice, Good Luck man.

side step the clutch? I hadn't actually thought about sitting there heating up the tires with people walking around.

Lol. I dunno exactly what he said either.

If I want to heat my tires up I just put it in 2nd gear, rev it up to about 4k, and dump the clutch. It doesn't take much, and you've got more power than I do (for now!) so you won't have a problem bogging. Unless you've got some seriously sticky tires or something.
