Default Pull a tire?

What do you guys think, will I pull the tires a few inches with the mods in my sig plus 27" Hoosiers, !swaybar and a TNT 150shot? I'll probably want some SFCs and an airbag too, right? Anyways, that is my goal for this upcoming season (and 11s). <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

it all depends on your suspension tuning. there are 9 second cars that launch as flat as front wheel drive cars <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

If I can pull one without my TNT kit I'm sure you can with it! I basically have the same drivetrain setup as you.

generally anything below mid 1.6's can pull wheels with skinnies on.. i got a whole 2-3 inches on my 1.64 <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> muahaha <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

but like they said above.. some whom cut 1.5's cant get the wheel off the ground, which is good in a way <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

but its just something about having a nose in the air <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
