it could.


and lots of lightening. tubular K member, coil overs, skinnys, remove whatever you can from up front.

stall it, shift kit can help to. some steep gears, and sticky tires. drag radials at least, slicks are better.


maybe then if you spray off the launch you might pull a wheel.

Ill give you credit for asking a ? that hasn't circulated the s/s a million times. I can't personally say Ive ever seen it asked 'round these parts anyways.

I dont recall ever seeing a non-foxbody 'stang pulling both tires up. Most all mustangs pull up the left, unless some serious serious serious power is being planted to the ground. As ZW stated, theres nothing wrong with not knowing everything about everything, but you wanting/expecting to pull the fronts is a little bit far-fetched......



On another note, I would ABSOLUTELY love for you or anyone to pull both and prove me wrong, being married has gotten me used to it anyways

move the engine to the rear and install solid rear suspension. ever time you hit the gas both front wheels will pull off the ground

Good shocks/struts/spring, An aftermarket stall converter, Drag slicks and some good chassis stiffening components like control arms, subframes, etc.... And alot more power than you have now, unless you are wanting to strip your car down to 2500lb.

You have no idea how much it takes, especially to do it reliably (without breaking crap every time like I do.)
Maybe for 2Vs

lol, what exactly did I say 2v's needed that's not on that 3v car? And if were getting technical about this, there's no sunshine underneath that passenger side tire.

its not even about power.


























its all about.....................WEIGHT TRANSFER. and yes its about power....but mostly weight transfer.

get a front swaybar delete kit, eibach drag launch springs, some SKINNY *** TIRES UP FRONT, a battery relocation kit, take as much weight as possible off the front of the car. get some 4.10's and epicly sticky tires, make sure your clutch can handle it. work on your rear suspension. spray a 100 shot. get a lightweight d/s. launch hard at 6000 rpm.


are you looking to just yank a tire or pull both wheels clear off the ground? yanking a tire isn't that hard. pulling both wheels up...........thats gonna require quite a bit of power. like, 600+ rwhp.

^^^ even if you do make enough power to lift "a" front tire your frame would need to be completely reworked.... the twist your frame will see is going to be beyond that of which a stock one can hold without alot of strenthening... granted that is a worked terminator with IRS, but the twist will still be there and your frame will wither under pressure

and the nitrous helping with the launch/lifting is just part of the equation

4.10's, a 3500+ stall, full drag suspension, slicks and skinnies, and a 150 shot all put together is your best bet at lifting... because it's safe to spray your engine after 3200RPM, so at launch you are going to be packing that bottle with help from the stall, the slicks/skinny combo will put that power down and help your weight tranfer as best it can and full suspension will help you put that power to the ground even more, furthering weight transfer... if done right all of the force will be traveling to your rear tires in a teetering motion while your front end travels up... and with nitrous the torque numbers go off the chart once that spray hits, and off the line is where all that torque will hit, (low end torque will help you lift off the line more than peak horsepower numbers will). the 4.10's will multiply your torque and low end capabilty making your launch all the more violent.... if the car can grip, you go up

just my opinion and explaination

either way, you have alot of framework/rear end work/transmission work to do before you can even attempt to add power to accomplish a final goal of raising your front end on launches
