Humm it seems like 1.50's are the magic number. Im going to have some of my dads very light, small rims from when he used to race protree back in the stone age, but even witht the extra h/p and weight reduction i dont think im gunna be able to go any faster than a 1.65.... maybe itll come up a bit, being able to say my street car does wheelies (while still going rounds) would be so cool.

 

I have IRS and don't pull them up at all with low 1.4's.

 

Suspension set-up, torque #s, transmission choice and launch characteristics are going to make this a question where there isn't a "magic" 60 foot where you pull the wheels. I've seen drag suspension set-ups on 13 second cars pulling low 1.7 60 foots pull a wheelie, and as mentioned some cars in the 1.4 range still have the front tires firmly on the ground the entire run.

1.64 for me. Guess I pulled em a few times when one of my buddys told me about it. I didnt know. With the car doing 1.50s, both tires are off for just a moment. Just a few inches and fairly even (from what Im told). No pics yet. Maybe one day.

1.50 here and didn't pull anything. Just picked up and went:

 

1.703 ... and barely ... Yank SS3600 ... MT Street DR's ... no front sway bar and solid chromemoly rear bar.

 

1.7x here, it was ugly. Stock front suspension, t56, 6400rpm dumps on ET streets. The car would yank wheel, drop down then finally move forward. It was embarrassing.

 

She came up when I got into the 1.6s.
QA1 install got me there from my previous 1.7 runs.

 

1.48 60FT. also helps to relocate the battery in the back of the car as well as shedding weight off the front end.

 

1.6s got daylight under mine with the heavy 16s up front

 

1.90s in a 55 Chevy with a 327 and a manual trans and mild wrinkle wall MTs. Tires came off an entire foot. This car had lots of gear and it does have a solid frame like a pickup though. Suspension setup makes a big difference, as does tranny and rear gear choice. 90/10 drag shocks in front, and slapper bars in the rear. Pinion angle about 5 degrees negative. My 283 will pull the tires about six inches. It hits 1.70 sixty foot. This is a rather violent leaving street car. Plans are for a big block and glide combo this spring. Going bracket racing!

 

Oh... did I mention the car has the stock steel wheels on the front?

 

1.7 for me last year lifted the drivers side. Should be a lot higher this year with 100 more HP.

 

My V6 would lift the drivers front about an inch at low 1.7's.

 

mine pulled the wheels with a 1.59 60ft. The pic is in my fquick page in my sig. Stock suspension with 17in chrome Y2K wheels haha. no front sway bar or bumper support. other than that, full weight.

 

Wow dam!!!! where have i been congrats on the na v6 run, is that the record rite now for 3.8? i havent been on fv6.com in a long time. dont know if you remember me.....W68Firebird97 i was there back when the site first started

any way congrats

ok i think i can do it then. Im gunna have some very light rims up front, all the weight out, and that sway bar. Oh and like 50 more hp. I just hope that I go up, and my rear doesnt go boom.

 

so did you lift them???

 

1.8 s here

Wow, I must have been doing something wrong. Don't remember when I got one off the ground.
It was 1.30's before I got both off the ground.
