Your tires are sticky, and they don't have any traction control. I'm

My 16 Tahoe has 355hp...too heavy :(

40hp will do it in an old school stock VW Beetle

Are you saying you don't know how to squeal out in a RWD stick shift?
Did your parents have any kids that lived?

Nah, it has nothing to do with the weight. Actually the weight would help it stay in place and burn out.
It's the torque management. TM is part of the programming in the PCM (powertrain control module) that reduces engine torque when starting from a stop and when the transmission changes gears. The PCM calculates the "Delivered Engine Torque" based on numerous inputs. The PCM then retards ignition timing to reduce engine torque by a predetermined percentage based on the engine's torque output. Its purpose it to increase the longevity of the transmission and drive-train.
GMs and Dodges (Ram now) are famous for heavy-handed torque management. If your Tahoe didn't have TM, say if you got a custom programmer and took it out, it would roast the tires if you wanted it to.

Oil up them rear tires.

Bleach on the tires and make em smoke

RWD of course.
Has less to do with horsepower and more to do with gearing, traction, and tires.

I prefer my tires braised

I worked on it for a while yesterday...
Even got it all back together.
I need to replace the washer motor now...
But the episode of Jays garage 'wolf in sheeps clothing' had a Volvo with a crate engine in it...got me thinking.

How much hp does it take to roast the tires?
RWD of course
Way too many variables to answer this question such as surface area of the tires in contact with the road, material composition of the rubber, type of road surface, etc.
It all boils down to knowing coefficient of frictions at the point of contact, surface area of the contact, torque applied to the wheel, and the diameter of the wheel.
All that being said ... about tree fiddy.

Incorrect, more weight, more force required.

Why would that make a difference unless you were on a soft surface where you might dig down (like a dirt surface). I've had way more trouble keeping traction on the lighter rear end of a small pickup than I ever did on a full sized one with more HP and torque.

This would indeed be the most likely limiting factor for most modern vehicles on dry pavement.

tires people.. the tires.
you can have 200 hp if you have slick tires or roll in water you gonna smoke them down.
you can have 450 hp and some drag tires and you can floor it on dry sticky pavement and you wont spin.

you have a 550 right? Press and hold the TRC button until it blinks and comes completely off. Then enjoy. I did it once with mine and drifted in a circle. Pretty sweet but only did it one time because of tires

bald tires on smooth asphalt with a RWD manual should be easy AF to burn out...right?
Unless the vehicle weighs a shite load.
