Cool Re: Lifting the front wheels..

DARK!, calm down. As you say I, I, I. Well that is you. I (me) can pull the tires (2) with just a 1.78 60ft. I can really get some light with a 1.54. The new set up is so close, can't wait to see the air now. Each set up is differant, even though we are all close to the same. Lets just encourage him and wait to see what time brings.

LOl., I guess I have wheelie envy. I never understood why my car never pulled the wheels. I havent launched it since the 4 banger front springs so who knows.

You need drag suspension to get the wheels up. Slicks & horsepower aren't enough. I'm in the same boat. I'd love to pull the left front wheel...but I don't know if I'm ready to sacrifice the ride quality on the street and go for full on drag suspension. Launching on nitrous, at 5,000rpms...I've turned a 1.58 60'. I haven't pulled a wheelie...but the left front tire was pretty close to seeing air under it. My Eibach lowering springs are killing me.

Decisions...decisions...
