Wink Wheel Stand

Anyone know about how much power it takes to get the front tires off the ground in a 97Z?

To many variables involved to even make a quess. Lets just say for grins, 450 rwhp with a another 150 rwhp shot of nitrous with a dead hook. Who knows, I'm just taking a stab in the dark.

My car only lifts one tire with something approaching 400rwhp and low 1.6 short times. Then again look at what my car is.

You want to keep your front end down when you are drag racing...

yeah but you want to have more weight transfered to the rear than the front for traction. Unless you have a high hp car, wheelstands are just for looks anyway

Yeah really....you got to be makin some good TQ. That is I big car to pull a wheel

BTW my brother has a 93 bronco with a 351.....If you put it in 4 low and leave the hubs unlocked it will jerked the LF off the ground

Don't try it tho.....had to rebuild the T-case afterwards
