adjusting front shocks for a wheelie?
 
I don't think I will actually get a wheelie with my 3400 stall, but I am wanting to know if I should turn the knob all the way loose when at the track or just close to all the way loose? Whats best for getting the front to lift up?

HP and TQ is the best way to lift the front end.

If the mods you have in your signature are accurate you wont have to worry about pulling the front tires more than an inch or two if at all. You can use the shocks to keep the front end down or you can also use front end limiters. Just get out there set them with in a couple clicks of full loose and you should be good.

I think he wants help pulling them, not preventing it.

Sorry I must have read it wrong.

You are going to need more power than you currently make to pull them. It will also help out immensely if you lighten the front end because you are going to need to be able to transfer weight and transfer it well. Loosening up your front shocks to also help with weight transfer. You will will also need a nice, sticky tire and a good track to hook on. If the mods in your signature are correct you are a good ways from pulling the front tires.

yea im not really thinking im close to pulling the tires. I just want the front to lift up alot and look good and help my 60ft.

You wont pull the tires unless you hit a 125 off the line and then it should come up a couple of inches.
