That's the only way I can do it. lol A little over 500 lbs. of torque (nitrous), a dead hook with a 1.47 60ft. and I still can't lift the left front. Oh well.

- get a huge slide with a single slide block (slide rail about the length of your car)
- make a frame over your car and mount the slide onto it
- attach something heavy (maybe even a Smart car) onto the slide block
- make it so that when you accelerate off the line, the smart car (assuming you mounted one) slides from the front to the back and hits a stop at the back; this stopping action will get the front of your car off the ground (probably give you whiplash) and will possibly make you end up vertical needing some help to get back on the track.

Okay, I'm really bored

Daylight has been spotted under my car before. Need good track prep, GLD is great WIR sucks for that.

There is a difference too between popping up and keeping the weight up.

Bolton cars with lots of gear and stall can lift the nose but lack the power to follow through and when the nose settles they spin a few feet out of the hole.

Photographer said when I first got there and the track was good it lifted 3" but he was not expecting that from and ugly taxi. After that the track went away a little and this is the best shot he got.
3.73s, 3400 stall, 27" Hoosier QTPs, Monroe shocks front, Bilstein rear, nothing fancy, just torque and traction.

there was also a picture floating around of a bone stock power wise LT1 with a 12 bolt and slicks and skinnies who pulled 1 tire off the ground, i cant remember the guys name, but the picture is his sig and its sick!

So in short, parts needed:
-good rear
-slicks, skinnies
-good clutch


Rev the **** outa it and drop the clutch.

yup its a formula and 12.87 was the time he ran! and it is only lifting 1 tire you are correct. i think he said in the initial thread he popped 2 the first time or something but couldnt ever get the second one up when they went to take pictures.
