Just thinking aloud here
Well, he said 'wheelspin' occurs at 1800rpm, a small amount of wheel spin whilst stalling it up is normal, it's just a product of the convertors 'stall speed'.

Achieving 'some' wheelspin and doing a smoking burnout are two different things.

My folks stock standard AU I6 wagon will wheel spin at around those revs when stalling it up.
