yea you can do burnouts.
the weight of the vehicle matters also, but it you want to sit and spin your off in the right direction.
i used that same came in my previous engine comp has nice cams.

your cam should idle with a low stall converter maybe you got to much initial advance on your timing.
how are you in-gauging the lock up converter and overdrive
are you using switches and relays or some other set up?
if your converter is locked up in gear you will have it trying to push through any stop and its going to burn up if you keep running it with a in-gauged lock up, you have to fix that issue its not supposed to be locked up until u activate it. Give me more info.

OK i'm assuming then that your 518 is a none lock up style you only have 2 pins at the electrical hook up is this correct?
and your not running a lock up converter but a standard low stall converter?
your motor should still idle in gear i had that same cam and in your motor size should be slightly noticeable that is the idle should be fairly smooth
i think your initial timing is to far advanced
try backing it off.................duration lift
the specs on that cam are 268 268 454 454, 1500-5500 rpm.
when you run down the road does she "pop" out the tail pipe? that's a good sign that the timing is too far advanced.
What type of distributor are you running on her?
on the carb are you using the programmed vacuum port or the none programmed vacuum port for your vacuum advance? also you may have to do more adjustments on the idle using the air fuel mix screws what size power valve is in that carb also?
i would use the programmed port and back off my initial timing and then use lighter advance springs/ heaver advance weights for a faster advance curve. in gear she should idle around that 800 rpm mark and there is always some "push"
