408 iron motor with 250 worth of bottle
TH400 with T-brake and 2step
Moser 12 bolt with 3.73 gears and a Eaton Posi
28/10.5W/15 MT ET Drags
Weighing in at 3462 for this run. The legal weight was 3450 to be in this class.
Some people will remmember it from Thunder Shootout.
11.20 is not bad right..............I was on the brakes for the better half of the track. LOL
Me, James, and Ryan measured the aftermath. LOL
The bumper was on the ground for 90+ft and the header touched down at 210ft out. GMHTP got the best pic of it at 11:00 with 10ft of sparks flying out of the rear end area while it was completely extended up. I looked under the car to see what sparked and it was the mother Fing trunk. It bend the bumper all the way up and hit the trunk and almost wore a hole in it. LOL

How close is this to a wheelie. Done at 3820lb total weight
ET street radials 235/60 x 15
3.73 gears
Yank SS3600 stall
This was a 1.678 60 footer and 12.070/112
Is this a wheelie? or how far off is it?

Those are some good looking wheelies guys. I am waiting on my new front suspension so that i can get them both in the air. I have not anti roll bar so i do the twisting thing also.
I agree also. don't lift. I have seen the struts get pushed through the top of the finder from coming down to hard.

This was my car before the LPE 'vette(blown 306 gt, 'bout 460 crank hp) it had fresh sticker slicks 26X10 and a 5500 rpm dump. It lifted the wheels slightly, and felt no different than previous launches....it simply slams you in the seat and you're off.
I ran 11.55@118 after this run.
