When I was on stock wheels and BFG DRs I pulled my drivers side off the ground about 2" with a 3800 vig and I was just about stock weight. I went to 3.73s and a ss4000 and couldn't get it to hook so now I have 27" hoosiers on bogarts. Also took the hit and got a 12 bolt with 4.10s. I have not run it yet with this setup but I think both tires are going to come up, now I'm just worried about them comming up too high. Oh yeah and when I pulled the tire I just flashed it off the line from idle. I never got it to hit that hard off the foot brake and I don't have a t brake. I think with the right setup you can get 3200 and up to do wheelies, anything lower than that I think you would have to be very light in front.

How much tire lift are we talking here? If it is just a smidge amount of light under neath, then all you need is a mid 1.6 to accomplish that on a sticky track. If you are talking about a real wheelie, like in my sig, you would need a <3000 race weight, a 4000+ stall, 28"+ tires, and 4.10+ gears, and about 450 rwhp+. Or a minimum conbination of that.
