At that point, go back and forth with the brake and gas to where you have a nice equilibrium. I wish I had some more concrete evidence to support you with, and what I have told you thus far may be extremely inaccurate. My apologies. However, I do know that with a little bit of practice, one can break the rear end loose on dry pavement. I'm sure there are some variables that may cause your rear end to have a more difficult experience breaking loose such as meaty tires, lack of power (i.e. headers, exhaust, etc.), and inexperience. If you have some crappy tires that you want to burn off before your next set, just play around with your truck. C'mon, it's a Tundra, it's going to hold up. You have no weight in the rear end - something has to give. I hope I have helped in the least bit. Good day.

Maybe you should just hold a "burnout school". Did you have a good day at school kids?! The old RT's are definitely burnout material, but my opinion is you are faking the ABS rather than the converter. In either case they'll burn if you learn. Practice practice practice, eventually everyone can do it well.
