I pull both wheels with jackstands and an impact gun. I'm naturally aspirated by the way.

You both seriously need to stop smoking crack, meth, or whatever it is that makes someone think some bull **** like this. A few lbs of NO2 off setting a 500+ lb engine?

Its all about the suspension set up, torque, and sticky tires

ms4 cam
prc ls6 heads
ported 9090
full bolts ons
4000 converter
410s
weight reduction
bone stock suspension (!front sway bar)

put down around 425rwhp

pulled the tires about a foot off the ground then unloaded and spun the rest of the 60 foot..

I cut 1.63 or so 60s with that car.. I cut 1.50-1.52s with my current car with full suspension and cant lift the tires for the life of me NA.. I could change the suspension up a little and yank them all day long though..

You can lift the tires with high 1.6-low 1.7 sixty foots... you can also not lift the tires with high 1.4 sixty foots.

I'd explain sarcasm, but I'm sure you know all about that too...

The coolest thing is watching a N20 Fwd Civic pulling the front tires, no LS1 could ever do that....

I saw a video of an Integra pulling rear tires.

True Story.

Impact gun means compressor. Compressor means forced induction. Sorry, but that's cheating just like nitrous!

nssane02, he was making a legitimate point.

what he was saying is was that you would be a fool to lift the tires without the supporting mods he was suggesting. he was adding that you need a soft suspension and sticky tires (on the front of the car) is so that when your front end slams back down, you don't crush a vertebrae and/or slide off the road.

don't be too embarrassed for calling him out in error.

I've been getting about an inch or two all motor with 1.58 60fts. All I have is a Trq arm, QA1 Hals, LCA's, and a Panhard bar.

Hoping to bring them up a little more with the 4.33 gears and Circle D 5c converter

The last time I weighed it, it was 3560 with me. It weighs about 80lbs more now. That was weighing it at the Triple J Truck stop, so I'm assuming it was accurate.

I think It's time to start pulling some weight
