Default What does it take?

Hey, this might be a wierd question to ask, but i have a 99 SS M6 and when i get on it i like to see the front end lift up... no it doesnt do a wheelie, but i would like it to. Im pretty much stock right now. My question is, what would i need in order to lift the front tires off the ground like 5 or 6 inches? Would it have to be more engine work or suspension work that needs to be done? Thanks -Josh

Add to that a stronger torque arm, 4.11 gears, and removing some weight from the front end, LOL.

a friend of mine has a formula that has boltons, gears, weight reduction and what not, but he took out his front sway bar... and he thinks that is one reason why he can lift his front end up, it looks pretty sweet to watch him hit the gas and the whole car just jumps, looks real cool.

what kind of tires does he have? and exactly how much weight reduction? are we just talking about taking out the back seats? and what kind of gears is he running?
