You need a "hot" performance reflash with CAI & exhaust mods...mine smoke easy.

Or you need a Limited Slip Differential or Locker...only one wheel spinning=an open differential.

For guaranteed burnouts install an electronic rear brake cutoff valve.

Is your truck a HEMI? If so 390 HP is plenty. You need a locker of a limited slip diff. Adding more power will not help ,you can put NOS, turbo, or supercharger and will still be in the same situation. What gear do you have in the truck?

Do you have the window sticker? It will say on that. Is it 4x4? If so its either a 3.55 or a 3.92(optional) and the 3.92 has the limited slip diff. I would say you have a 3.55 gear. 2wd has a stock gear of 3.21 and is an open diff also.
