Just wondering what motor or what do you need for your car to pick up the front tires.

Mild bolt ons, tires and suspension... These cars usually run slower when the tire does come up, but it makes for good pictures.

youll need a good 250 rwhp.....90/10 shocks up front skinnies as well..remove front sway bar.....some good slicks in the rear with i would say 50/50 shocks.....you could swap out the springs for ones from a 4 banger and launch at redline...you should be able to get at least one off the ground if your stickin!

4:30 gears, tubbed front end, 35 spline axels, bicycle tires out back, gutted car, 300 shot of Nitrous off the line, convert to FWD, and most importantly VTec with CAI and at least a 4" exhaust tip

First you need an import with "naaahhhaasssss". Stickers. (Must say NOPI, RAZE CREW, VTEC, DOHC, MUGEN, Torque isnt everything). A wing ment for top fuel, neon lights, carbon fiber something, 18/20 inch rims and a properly worked mustang to take to the track

Load up with a bunch of weight behind the rear axle. You can drive on 2 wheels at all times

it's all about front to rear weight transfer and having sticky rear tires. just add a kenne bell and slicks and remove the front sway bar, a/c,p/s, fog lights (if applicable), and move the battery to the trunk.

Quite simple. Forget battery relocation and all that crap. Try engine relocation. Just move the engine to the trunk and there you go instant wheelie whenever you step on the gas.

It so simple even GM guys can do it
