What’s stopping you?
They don't work well. Even with wet tiny tires.

over inflate them and try
The easiest way to do a 4 wheel burnout is doing a doughnut. Otherwise you need overwhelming power to break traction on 4 tires without something holding the vehicle back like you do with rear wheel burnout
I was tied to the pole. Just not enough power.
You need an 8.1
A boosted 8.1 
Laziness....
Shop addition
Not sure if it's everything in the picture, only the tools or it's the screen on top?
TV
No better excuse to fix that problem.
So BB trip went ok for Twinkie. The 205 decided to try and fall off the back of the adaptor, which we fixed at the top of Hells Gate. Other then chickening out before the thunder and lighting and rain. The trip went well.
Bit of a update
Went to Fullsize a few weeks ago. Was paid for and scheduled before the divorce started happening. So I figured I would go.
Ran day two, we ran Gold Bar Rim. Truck ran fine no issues. Filled up the tires at the end of the trail. Drove back into town, started running like crap. Tach was jumping all aver the place. Hand held tach reading from the computer was jumping all over the place. Go into town truck died at a light. Would not restart, because the less then one year old starter decided to crap out.
Got that fixed got it running again and back to the Airbnb.
Decided to replace the fuel pump, the computer was saying the MS was a bit lower than it should be. $180 later no difference. Then decided to do plugs, been a very long time since I did those and they did not look great. Also pulled the cap and rotor on the proprietary distributer and cleaned the contacts. Ran good for maybe a minute. Then back to jumping around like going from 800 rpm to 3500 rpm back and forth up and down. The engine wasn't doing that the reading were just showing that it was doing that.
Swapped out the coil, ran worse with a stock coil.
Only thing I can or could figure out is that pick-up computer thingy in the distributer is bad. The FI is a Edelbrock Pro Flow from like 20 yrs ago. They don't make the distributer anymore. They have a retro kit to convert it to a Pro Flow 4, same issue its a proprietary distributor.
So I did the sane thing, well doing the sane thing bought a FI-Tech.
Going to keep the BBC until it had not power anymore, not that far off, then go with a 6.0 swap.

Curious. Did you consider a HEI to drop in at Fullsize?
I’ve always had really good luck with the summit racing $120 HEI distributor special. Throw one, time it, and it just works.
But, in all fairness, I’ve always been fighting a point type ignition problem when I do that.
HEI would not work with the computer. It needs a hall effect to work.
New one is going to be that.
