i was just wondering. i have always wanted to be able to lift the front end .i know u dont want to. u want to squat and go.
that is not true. you dont want to squat. if the rear squats, it means your rear shocks are absorbing the weight transfer during launch. the idea is to have a stiff enough rear so that you dont squat because if the rear end doesn not squat, the weight transfer pushes down on the rear tires giving you better traction

i come close on motor with high 1.6 60fts.

on the spray no problem.

you need good suspension weight off the nose and atleast 250rwhp
what can you do to memove weight from the front besides remove the a/c and all the componets, battery, and sway bar?

Im curious how easliy can the front tires lift on the ground from the line. Does a stock engine have the power to do it. How many of u guys can do it.
I just had both my front tires off the ground this morning....it was EASY...

used a jack when I was changing my oil....LOL

no probs w/ 100% stock motor

you need gear and traction only

4.10's w/ a full slick, launching at 5k will yank about 4-6"

my buddy used to do it all the time

thisis my first wheelie w/ an all stocker, redline launch at 3500, popped the clutch while rolling backwards
