the last 2 times I tried a burnout I couldn't do it. It's as if the front brakes won't hold the car, the harder I press the brakes to hold the car it just bogs it down. WTF, I know linelock would help but I've never had an issue with a burnout before. Both times were on dry ground, but that's never stopped me before. It's as if the back brakes are engaging harder than the front brakes.

Anyone ever have this problem?

 

IS this on street tires? If so, then that's crazy. I've never had that problem before. If could be a clutch issue. What clutch do you run?

 

it's on my nitto DR's. I have a McLeod Super Heavy Duty clutch. The crazy thing is when I launch, it blows the tries off but it won't do a burnout.

 

Swap out that 3.8 for a 4.6 and call it a day

Seriously tho...Are you trying to do a brake stand?

 

+1, if you are trying to do a brake stand then the harder you press on the brakes the more it will bog...

With my slightly modded '03 (I do have a 2-step limiter set at 2800 rpm) I can mash the throttle and drop the clutch and stay in the same place (more or less) for 4-5 seconds before things get sticky enough to make it go...

 

my brakes started to wear faster on the rears, so I got a Baer proportioning valve, a whole $60.00, and so far it's really helping the pedal feel and brake feel on the streets. I havn't been to the track since I bought it, but I have a feeling it will do wonders for my lap times

 

I have one too, I have never tried setting it all the way to front.. It might work sort of like a line lock

 

yes but the problem is that the car won't sit still and do it, it moves forward and barely spins. I use to be able to sit there as long as I wanted and heat them up, now I can't. Something has changed, I'm assuming it's the brakes. I was on my nitrous tune so I wasn't on my 2 step. I put it in 2nd , rev it to 5k-6k, dump the clutch and move my left foot to the brake and it just bogs. It's the same thing I've always done but it doesn't work now. One other think I noticed was the last time I raced I had to get on the brakes hard to stop and the back brakes were smoking, this is why I think they are over working.

 

hmmm, if so that may be a good idea, if you can adjust it while in the car... lol

 

nope, you can't adjust it while in the car. What it does is it takes the place of the stock proportioning valve, and it decreases the brake pressure to rear lines.

I set it to ~73% front, and the rest to the rear, which has really helped pedal feel.
