RE: hp and torq

well there is someone on her that has done it with basicallya stock mustang. you dont need a whole lot more than what you already have. the more hp and trq you have, the easier it is to do. its all about weight transfer and traction.

I say sticky tires, u/l control arms, gears, relocate battery, disconnect front sway bar and 100shot of nitrous off the line and they'd be in the air.

RE: hp and torq

why would you want to pick it up on two wheels your whole front end will be messed up after you pick it up, everything will get loose, looks nice but not worth it.
