Put on a show???? I hope you dont think you will pop a wheelie like andy. You will probably only get about 2-6 inch of daylight under the tires tops. The best way to pull the wheels is with some real good sticky slicks and nitrous right off the line. Even then it wont be enough of a lift to put on a show. Andy launches his car at 8000 rpms and has 500HP. It takes big money to get where he is at.

To put it in perspective for you. I have every thing imaginable bolted on my car. I cant even think of anything alse to buy.

I have the a/c, power steering, smog pump, front sway bar removed and aluminum heads wich weigh about 50 lbs less than the stockers.

I put 4 banger springs in the front. Upper and lower control arms , sub frame connectors and an air bag in the passenger side right spring, 3.73 gears and hoosier slicks. My car puts 300HP to the wheels and I launch it at 5000rpms. I pull mid 1.6 60ft's and still do not lift the wheels. not even one wheel.
