Wheelstand material???

[The Fox]

I'm fascinated by wheelstands, I know it's dangerous and VERY costly but is my combo enough to pull some air-time? It's not near complete, I've got half of my mods and the other half are on the way... Well here it is...

RED = Things yet to do
BLUE = Things already done

Stock block, rods, pistons.
Eibach Drag Springs/shocks
Good upper and lower control arms
3.73s with stock axles from a Turbo Coupe
AFR 165s (saves weight being aluminum)
Removed back seats and front sway bar
Battery moved to the back
10.5" Mickeys

Removed back seats and front sway bar
Stock block, rods, pistons.
544 Cam with 1.7 rockers
Performer Intake
600CFM Holley Carb
Fiberglass 2.5" Cowl
MSD 6a ignition
BBK Longs, BBK X, Flows 3 chamber

Sorry if this is a stupid thread I'm just pretty interested.

MT drag radials and 500 hp, dump the clutch at 5000 rpms, I would guess.

How about a trunk full of cinder blocks.

 

[TrophyHead]

Remove the front sway bar
4.10's
locate battery to trunk
Lower control arms
QA1 rear shocks
airbag in left spring

I bet it would get the front tires off the ground a bit. Espically with the alum. heads.

put about a 250 shot on it off the line, that will help

Lighten up the front end, weight on the back end, good suspension, gears, traction. With that, a basically stock motored car could see air under the tires.

It depends on how serious you want to get. The less you move off the front the more you will need to do elsewhere.

I've seen street type cars like these put down 280ish hp and get air under the tires. If you went all out and lost the power steering, glass hood, light k-member, etc. you could do it with less.

This isn't a crazy circus wheelstand or anything, I'm just talking about snapping a photo and being able to see air under the tires.

4.56 gear,120lbs coil over springs (front),remove sway bar (front),stock springs rear,anti-roll bar,upper/loweres,battery in back,good clutch (or high stall for auto),alum. heads,light wheels (WELD Drag lights or something of the sort),10.5"X26" M/T ET Drag,remove wieght (back seat,etc.),150-200hp shot from a plate,and a 4500-5000 dump (or a trans break with high stall of auto).

You would be able to put the bumper to the ground with that stuff.

Anthony,
How do you like your LT's and X pipe?
What exhaust did you have before them?
Specifically, how's the low-end torque and sound?
THanks,
