Both of these were motor passes w/ 60's in the 1.6x range.

(not the best pic since it's a picture of a picture, but you get the point)
the back wheel really isn't turned in like it appears in the pic

This was done on completely stock suspension. I didn't have the suspension mods done that are in my sig now when this took place.

slicks and a 150 should do the trick. pull the front sway bar just to make sure.

it just makes the front end real loose in turn just lets the front jump up a little faster making better weight transfer

Exactly. I run a 2000 SS w/100% stock 112,000 mile suspension with NOTHING removed, at full weight, a fully loaded car with a fat driver and lift the driver's front wheel every launch.

Rather bland generic combo:
LS6 intake
226 cam
Longtubes, ORY, stock catback w/no cutout
3600 PI Vig. converter
342 rear
275/50/15 MT Drag Radials on 15x10" wheels/skinnies on front
Best run (yesterday): 11.67@115 w/1.58 60'

ET streets, QA1s, 9"+ 6k clutch dump= left wheel up, until the battery rolls back and grounds out. Then the car dies in mid air.

I can't get mine to lift either. I launch on the spray and run deep 10's. I can't figure it out to save my life. I think I'm gonna try the Madman sway bar at some point this year to get a nice 6-8 inch lift.

See attached video. It just seems like the weight transfer isn't there

me 2...my front will lift about 6-8 inches has good weight transfer but wont lift them...and my cars prolly in the 3200 rangei put front runner on it now and it still wont...no front swaybar and stock rear bar...i would think the stock rear would allow twist and at least lift the left front
