brian,
it is easier to squeak the tires on a front wheel drive car than a real wheel drive car due to the weight transfer from the front wheels to the rear under acceleration. You can squeal the tires on just about any front wheel drive car (auto or manual), unless you have a car with LOTS of horsepower you will find it harder to squeal the tires on a real wheel drive (amreracan cars with heavy v8's are easier to squeal than volvos as there is very little weight on the rear wheels while the volvos are closer to 50/50 weight distribution). For example my father's 850 with auto will squeal the tires without trying hard, but my 740 (with about the same power) will not. If you really want to squeal the tires with your auto you would have to rev the engine to around 3000+ rpm with the brake on and then take you foot off the brake (may even need higher rpm's) but this will put alot of strain on your drive train, and I wouldn't really recommend it too often. Can't help you much with the cams, I am relatively happy with the performance of my 16valve so haven't played with the engine at all. I wish you luck though.
