What do I need for wheelies?

Ive got a 360rwhp/380ft lb car and wont stop til im doing wheelies. How much weight do I need to pull off the front end to pull the front end up with a good launch. Ive also got a mcleod street twin and 12 bolt on the way which should help me substantially as well. Im hoping that with tubular K members and A-arms, no headlights, swaybars, a/c, and a 4500 launch I could do it, but im not sure. Im also prepared to get a fiberglass hood if itll help as well as some skinnies.

Your gonna need a lot more power, and more inportant than that. TRACTION! Even with the traction and power, your only gonna pull a wheel at the track with slicks and some good driving. Your also gonna have to replace the torque arm with one mounted tot he under floor. Your tranny mount won't stand for that kind of abuse.
