Lifting the front wheels..

NOTCH306 · 06-08-2005, 10:33 AM

dam i would love to pull at 1.7 or 1.6 60ft time. the best i have ever done was a 2.0. i messed up on an earlier post i do have upper and lower controls. I know i'm not going to pull the wheels more than i few inches and i don't really care about that.

It's all about the setup. I was down in the 1.73 60' times (old motor) and never lifted anything. Darn close, but it just hooked and went instead of lifting.

Like everyone's been saying, lighten up the front, good stickys out back, 8,000 RPM and side step the clutch.

You DO realize you're gonna break a bunch of $hyt trying this, right? Stocker parts aren't gonna hold up to that kind of abuse bro.

A 2.0 60' time? I hope that's on a street radial?! Get some slicks, some drag springs & 90-10 front struts...and launch with the juice. Put 9psi. in the slicks. Do a huge 'ol smokey burnout. That should get ya some air under the left front tire I'd imagine.
