It's the gears you have. My tires wouldn't spin 255/50-16's on my old car - w/ 2.73's - if that helps any. 3.73's will fix it.

My V6 with 145k miles can spin pretty far through first. I have even chirped at 10-15 but that was a one time thing. When it rains I can nail it from 15-20 and they will spin.

The Trans Am will spin whenever I want them to lol.

When my car was stock it'd light 'em up out of the hole. I could see if you were cruising around on 28" Mickeys, but damn.

Odd, even an LT1 corvette will spin them with 285s, and a 3.08 gear out back.

I'm such a newb. I checked the tire psi. They were down to 22. Never aired the tires up after the winter. lol The floor mat was also under the gas pedal. There are now 2 big black marks in my drive way!! That'll make the wife happy when she gets home.

lol you should be very happy that tires dont spin when you floor it. dont have to worry about anything when racing.... i believe gears are the reason for not spinning...

I used to have an 00 A4 firebird v6 stock, damn i remember i put it in drive and just floored it, and it squealed lol for good 30 feet i think. After that i got out, and looked at that one wheel peel... ah good times in HS...
my 06 155hp taurus squeaks tires when floored from a stop, but my dd matrix with 126 hp, does not... haha

You should be able to spin the tires at will from a stop on any 4th gen V8 (LT1 or LS1), no matter the gearing and stockish tires and ASR off (if applicable).

Period.

Something isn't right with your car.

Porblem solved but wait, was this even a problem? Plenty of people on this forum would love to have too much traction. My car dead hooks on the street from a 20 roll in first and I love it. I kind of don't want to get a cam because i'll lose that ability unless I get a massive tire upgrade.

Dead hooking=good unless you're scared for your 10 bolt.
