That's wierd that you can leave black marks but no smoke.
Are your rears overinflated? Maybe your whole tire isn't touching the ground and your only spinning on the middle of the tire.

The black marks are just about as wide as the tire is. They are not over inflated.

Peeling out is driving irresponsible, but I'm not going to do in the middle of my neighborhood or anything. I'm going to go some place where there isn't anybody. You can't really get hurt doing this either (well maybe but it would only be myself:D).

Well, just be glad you can do a brake stand!
I went pretty far with my boat, but I didn't want to risk dropping the 700-R4 tranny :Q

Success! I mixed water and and bleach, poured it on the tires and had a huge smokey burn out. It was very very sweet!

my Potenza S-01s never smoke, but the Pilot Sports I had before would even have wisp in hard cornering... weird. Pilot Sports suck btw.

I have the same truck as you, except it has a 350 V8:) It's a 97 Silverado 1500 shortbed. Anyhow, I've never driven the 6cylinder version, but mine can smoke the hell out of the tires. All I have to do is give it a little more than 1/4 throttle and they start to spin, even on dry ground, if I'm going 35mph in a straight line and give it full throttle I can break the rear end loose on dry ground. My tires aren't worn badly, they only have 25k miles on them with plenty of tread. In the rain, forget about it, it's nearly impossible not to spin them going around a bumpy corner, or uphill unless I throw on the 4wd. The nice thing is that it's fairly heavy so it doesn't tend to fishtail around corners, you just hear the tire spinning but oversteer doesn't occur.
