Wheelies
Wheelies are great to watch but lousy for ET. It does not take a ton of hp to do a wheelie. Its more of chassis setup, traction, flywheel weight and clutch, or stall in autos, and weight distribution. Like the previous post said there are stock cars that can pull the wheels some. I remember some of the old SS cars from the 60s used to be able to pull the wheels a little and they were only running 12s.
Here is a pix of my present car before I owned it. It would stand on the wheelie bars on launch and it only had a BB 461 in it.
Since I have put a 632 in it I fear I will have a big problem with this as there are few adjustments in a ladder bar car to stop this.
Here is a picture of my Beretta when I ran it which ran 5.07 on motor and 4.70s on a 250 shot and it never lifted the wheels more than a couple of inches off the ground. Just like its doing in the picture. After setting the 4 link up right. Before that it would whack the wheelie bars hard enough to lift the rear wheels off the ground.
