With the old stock 92 K engine and stock K-member with stock A arms and stock springs my car would lift both front tires off the ground about 4 inches when it ran 7.50's.

You asked about cars pulling front wheels with stock stuff up front!

Look at the photos LS2 Bait posted that is about how my car did with the stock 92K engine with the stock front end parts. The old setup put down 329 HP and 350 TQ NA and ran 7.50's at 89 MPH and 11.94 at 113 MPH with anywhere from a 1.55 to 1.58 sixty.

Cool. I can't wait to go to the track. I'll be on stock springs all around, but hopefully I can join the wheelie club. Even if it's just a baby one, lol.
