So Im wondering what to do to get the fbody famous one wheel wheelies?

And when you start changing the suspension, what makes it better or worse?

Whats better for wheelies, stock torque arm, am or tunnel mounted?

Along with enough power a sticky tire and drag oriented suspension. Short style tunnel mounted torque arms will plant the tires harder as well

MWC told me a M6 car does better with the longer arm... not the short one.

Interesting. I've never heard that specifically about the M6 over the auto.

Call them today and see what response you get..... MWC have set two of buddies cars up. Both M6 cars.... both long arms from them.

No I believe you, just never heard that before. I'm sure MWC knows more than me about it lol

Oh boy, a lot to cover here

First, a long arm works better for stick shift or car making less than 600whp . It brings your instant center farther forward and puts more lift to the front end.

As for the one tire only wheelie, that is usually what people try to avoid. This is caused by suspension flex from the lack of sway bar/anti-roll bar on the rear. If you want it to do this for some reason, the simply remove your rear sway bar. But this is usually not consistent or good for the chassis

Best shot i got, stick car, shitty comp 3 way shocks, possibly a stock Sway bar. Viking coilovers. 27” Hoosier, 4.10, t56, just shy of 500whp, 3180 race weight.

BMR- all 600 RWHP are not the same/equal. A naturally aspirated car go hit the tires differently compared to a forced induction car.

I have nothing to add but go ahead and set your goals higher and pull all 4 up!

That's true. Then its usually a matter of if it is going to pull the wheels at the hit, or 20' out when the boost rolls in. You can run higher power with a longer arm, but usually thats when people start having trouble keeping the front end down. But like I said, there are many variables to consider when choosing torque arm length and style and desired instant center point

First off, wheelies are cool for pictures (if you going up, you're not going out!).
I was having serious twist, as in, driver tire 12-18" compared to only a couple of inches passenger side.
A call to a certain "Madman" for some shock settings and a ARB recommendation solved it (I have a short TA). "He" told me, you want the tires an inch or so off the ground ONLY, for max weight transfer and "moving out". With his setting, my 60' went from 1.46 to 1.34.
