BURNOUTS, donuts and general showing off? Proper procedure??

check for balance after relieving it of the cap.

...like this.....

TRUE......but removing the valve stem cap reduces the UNSPRUNG WEIGHT.......and inertia, (depending on RPMs and weight) is also an important consideration....but the real savings is air @ 48 F (508 A) a cubic foot of normal pressure sea level air weighs almost exactly 1 1/4 ounces and at a higher pressure, the heavier the air becomes......but at zero psi, there is no influence.....

You forgot to mention about the correct TORQUE setting of the RR tire valve stem and whether the valve stem cap is set correctly....VERY IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION or unequal traction may result.....in addition to the normal things
To be considered...radio station volume and type of wax used......just a thought.....

The commercial is tomorrow. I have been able to do burnouts. However, I'm really worried about breaking something. My main issue right now is the engine dies as soon as I let off the gas. I tried adjusting the secondary air valve on the avs2 carb and it didn't help much if any. Is this the transmission or converter? Any advice?

Have fun with it today!
We will need a update!!!!

Thanks for the compliment, Cliff Claven is a good person......."useless engineering trivia????".....no information is useless....unless it applies to your circumstances (or you don'tunderstand the concept).....like re-engineering the ignition system....based on nothing but conjecture, guesstimates, hearsay, "seat of the pants" engineering.....Oops, there's that nasty word again (engineering)....and an undocumented magazine article that fixes all issues......tune into WALDO's GARAGE (U-TUBE)......where Waldo's cousin, Elmo, demonstrates his knowledge of everything......

You would be better off with Cliff Claven rather than the USPS.....the post person's creed....applies only when convenient......

Ugh. That means we’ll be getting your weather in a day or so.

Ok. Its done. I ran fuel tank near empty, put some 93 octane and octane booster in it and really bumped up the timing. Wow....Night and day difference. I also apparently didn't have the brake prop valve turned all the way down either. I gave it a little more fuel at idle, turned up the idle and practiced slowly letting off the brake/gas. That kept it from dying. I tune it with a vacuum gauge but I guess it needed some more. Thank you to everyone who left positive comments or advice, instead of those trolls sitting in their moms basement talking about their imaginary cars that probably don't exist. And if they do exist, I'm sure they bought it finished or paid someone else to do all the work. I could go on and on but its not worth my time. The crew used cameras, a drone and a couple gopro cameras suction cupped to the car, so it should be decent. IDK, we'll see. It's a 30 second tv commercial. It will take a couple days before it all gets edited and finished.

The "commercial" will be as exciting as "rolling booger pills, between the thumb and index finger", then wiping your finger on the seat cushion or flinging the booger pill, to see how far it goes......wow......
