3600 stall or larger, sticky tires, remove the front sway bar, will get you close but prepare for the carnage of the 10 bolt rearend

all you need is the bolt-ons and the right suspension... sticky tires help too, and don't worry about the ten bolt, Mine has been doing wheelies for a a few years with the 10 bolt...

The one in my sig was on old nitto drag radials and with a lot more weight then it is now, and here are some good shots of wrinkled slicks from this past weekend...
