How much torque and horsepower does it take to pull a wheelie? I have an 85 gt that weighs 2850 w/driver. Going to a 393 stroker hoping to put out about 450 RWHP. I launch at 4000rpm with a glide. I also have the tubular front end, coil over fronts, and adjustable uppers and lowers in the rear with 26x10 slicks. Just trying to guess if I need to invest in some bars. I don't want to buy them if I don't need any, but don't want to drag my rear bumper either. I don't have any idea, just looking for some input from guys that run similar set up. Thanks
