Little wheelie picture on motor Stock motor with bolt ons, 26" Drag Radial at 24 psi, and completely stock suspension. It's not a huge wheelie, but there is daylight under the tire 
This run was a 1.61 60' and a 12.2 @ 108. It's a picture of a picture that I bought at the track and had framed so it's not the best quality. The back tire is not turned in as it appears in the picture.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I really appreciate it. Although it wasn't much of a wheelie, I was pretty excited when I saw the picture.
And yes, we all gotta start somewhere don't we?
For clarification, I have the stock shocks, springs, tq arm, no sub frame connectors....stock suspension. The only thing that I've done is replace the tranny mount for the tq arm with a poly mount b/c I busted the stock one. However, I raced on the busted mount for about a year
And I was going 1.52-1.54 60' constistently like that. 
(On a 100 shot and a 150 shot) But, I don't consider that a suspension mod.

You F-body guys make me mad sometimes 
Maybe the fact that I should accept is that I can't drive
If I could get my car to 60 foot like some of you guys I would easily run mid 11's especially with the 119 trap the car got on a 11.9 pass.

Yep, Gator is right, the car weighs 3380 and I'm about 230 lbs. So that puts the race weight a little over 3600 lbs.
Car makes less than 300 to the wheels, that's why the mph is quite uneventful. I make up for that in the first 60' though
I just need to get these tire to hook on teh jug and get back to the 1.4-1.5 range like before.

Congrats, as everyone else said... You gotta start somewhere and you've got a hell of a start.
Now that you got the hard part over with you just have to put it on the bumper next
Good luck!
