Default What will it take to get my 4.0 in the air on launches?

For those of you who have done it or know what will do it. What will it take for me to get the front end of my stang to lift off the ground on a hard launch? Can it only be done with FI and/or a built engine? What exactly does it take?
Thanks

Haha I know but what should I get. Is there anyway to do this without FI? Im sure I would need some gears. I wanted 3.73's but maybe I would need 4.10's since its an auto.

It wouldn't take a lot if you weighted the back end of your car down and lightened it up front. And put some super stiff suspension on the front.

But as far as pure power.. it would take a very built 4.0 with power adder.

Fill your front tires with helium, works like a charm
Just kidding, please don't do that...

... and a huge amount of traction.

How high are you looking to lift the front wheels?
Does this have something to do with impressing a member of the opposite sex?
This feat is going to cost a LOT of money to accomplish. The juice aint worth the squeeze.

While we are at it, lets figure out how to get it to do a barrel roll after hitting a bush like on every episode of the A-Team.

That'd be much more impressive

If that was your intent, why did you buy a V6? I'd think you'd want to start with a GT and then do some serious power adders and suspension to pull that off. That MIGHT have been cheaper than trying to do it with the V6.
