wheels up? well i just got my prostars on with 275/50 m/t radials... so far they hook awesome on the street, well compared to my 17" nittos. My suspension is all stock right now and race weight will be 3500. makes around 500/500 to the wheels turboed.. could i possibly pull the tires up some.. i ran a 11.1 with a 1.79 60'. hoping for 1.60/1.55's

LOL! I've barely pulled a wheel on the street by stabbing it easy from a stop and then stabbing it hard. That was on MT 315/35R/17 MT Street DR's with !front sway bar delete, -2.5 pinion angle, with relo brackets in the bottom hole.
It was a lot of effort to do, but, the car beside me (a buddy from work) thought it was awesome and told everybody about it. It probably was pretty stupid, but, he thought it was cool.
Even now with a new ProThruster4000 and more power, I still havn't been able to get air at the track. Working on getting the car to transfer weight appropriately. If you listen to the more experienced folks here, thye can help you get your suspension to work good and I think with good weight transfer you'll pull the fronts.
I'm gonna say no. With 500/500 on a turbo set-up, you probably don't have enough down low. Unless your turbo/s kick in super fast, you won't have enough torque off the line. What stall do you have? Can you build psi at the line? A lot of factors go into it. Ah, who knows you might be able to. Try it out and let us know.
With the power you have yes, if it will do it depends on how good the chassis works and how good the stall works with your combo and how much boost you can get out of it.
Just stabbing the gas from an idle I would say no, if you can build some boost and the car hooks descent I think it is possible.

3500 tci spools right away. it should build some boost of the line now.. i cant wait to go just waiting for some guys here together for a track rental this coming month..
my 1.42 60' foot pulls both tires like... 3 inches...other people with that pull em up like 3 feet, its all in the setup i guess. But with a turbo id imagine it wouldnt hit that hard.

nice.. I was gonna do a torque arm but figured i'd wait for the 9 inch the 10 bolt might last this year..i need a rear after 10.99 anyways.. im gonna try for 10.50's or better on my stock motor once i get the power down.. i figured i can at least look good with the prostars on when they tell me to go home lol and for the street
