Default smoke them tires?

Hello,
Newbie here! I have a 05 RT Magnum and am interested in obtaining info on performance upgrades. I have been reading everyones post thepast weeks and it seems as though you start with a superchip first. This may sound crazy ,but I would like to be able to "smoke" my tires ... . Right now I can screech them somewhat, but not exactly bellowing smoke. I am not interested in top end as much as low end torque. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

you will need an ESP mod to stop the traction control from taking over.

the main reasons you can't smoke the tiresare because of the engine's torque management & ESP.
superchip flashpaq will give you some relief with the torque management. it is a great start.

when i was using the flashpaq, i used the 91 octane setting, reduced torque management, raised rev limiter, raised shift points, 170mph speed limiter, paddle hold trans setting, and 27.5" tire size.

this is a real nice setup. just make sure you use at least 91 octane fuel in your car. you will also want the NOESP mod to keep the tires spinning.

Quick question 65. Do you know if the ESP mod without the SuperPaq TM benefits is worth the purchase? I opted for the Jet perf. mod, but I am not sure if it affords anywhere near the TM settings of the flashpaq.

the noesp mod is only $50 and it will completely turn it off. it is worth every cent. torque management is another thing. the jet chip does nothing for torque management, but has proven gains of 13HP. the flashpaq can lower the torque management some, but only a custom flash from B&G can completely stop it.

i would get the noesp mod with the jet chip.
