Will your V6 Peel/Burn out?!

I have a completely stock(Except K&N air filter) 1999 F150 Sport V6 and was suprised when this truck couldnt even peel out from a dead stop going up a hill! My friends 92 4 banger corsica can! What the... It will only hit 2 thousand RPMS when trying to power break also. anyway around this, can you guys peel out, how?!

Mine can't, but its a automatic, supercab with Michelin 265/70 tires.

A lot is going to depend on manual or automatic, limited slip or not, what gears, what tires and what cab (weight).

I would say a 5 speed, non-limited slip 3.55 gears reg cab with greasy stock tires would have no trouble lighting them up from a stop, but I'd rather have my truck.

mine wont but its had 32x10.5's on it since about 2 days after getting it.

you can check your door sticker to get your axle code to find that stuff out.
as for peeling out...get skinny old tires or water

Sounds like you are not too mechanically inclined. Also sounds like you should have bought a POS Corsica, like your friend. It’s a truck, not a sports car. Don't tear it up trying to keep up with the sport compact market.

when the road are wet, from a dead stop. when on dry roads, i have to be turning to squeal/bark the tires. but when it comes to powerbraking, hell yea! it will spin 'em as long as i want (ive only done it twice for about 5 seconds each...)

when your powerbraking, you have to fully stop, press the brake all the way in, and then floor the $h!t out of it!

o and i have a 01 supercab w/ K&N '77, Magnaflow SI/DO, programmer, and pirelli 255/70/16 scorpion atr's, and 3.5 (...i think)

Well.....

I know this will be an "apples to oranges" comparison, as mine is a 5.4L V8.... but none the less, 1) I have 3.55 gears {which I believe should make it a bit less likely to spin the tires} 2) I went from 30" stock tires, to 33" aftermarkets, and 3) my truck has posi-traction rear end, which I believe means, if I spin them at all, I have to spin "both of them"....
And none the less, my truck has spun them on dry pavement when I wasn't even trying too !
Sounds rad.... but my truck (and my tires) cost too much to being doing that kind of stuff on purpose, so now I try to take off a little more carefully.

There must be a huge difference between Manual and auto, b/c i can pop my clutch floor it and get right on the brake and hold it for as long as id like.

I had a 04 Heritage with the 4.2, auto, 3.55's and i could power break easy. Even when I lifted it and put 33's and 4:10's in the rear I could.

Tap the break pedal to lock up the front brakes. Then floor it. If you don't burn rubber than you have to be doing something wrong!
