Default Wheel Stand...

The next thing is in my mind...a wheel stand.

So how much rwhp -rwtq does it take to lift up the front wheels?
I'm talking about like 4-5 inch.

there is no set amount, i have seen people with around what power you have pull the front wheels about an inch or so. matters on traction! and i see that you have a stick, which in my opinion will make it harder as well!

Agreed. If you focus on traction and weight distribution it will help more than raw power.

It's all about how stiff the car is, and how much traction you get. Your power level with a drag suspension and some sticky tires... You've got to launch hard too, so your rear wont last long. Broken driveshafts... sheered torque arm bolts... $$$$
