    so if you had a really soft rear end, and really sticky rubber you could get it up with a 200hp car?

    or is it more then that...I assume that the softer your rear suspension, and harder the front is the better the weight transfer....

        Not neccesarily... there is alot more to it...


        You make a soft rear, and you may just end up with an assload of wheel hop, and maybe something broken.

          Wickedsix98 (Lance from Abbot Racing) pulled a wheel N/A on his 12.48 run ;) Granted he had tons of weight reduction and an almost full race car.

          FloydSummerof68 pulled a wheel with bolt-ons, 3500 stall, 4.10's, Abbott cam, 100 wet shot of nitrous, minor weight reduction to include skinnies, and minor suspension mods. All mods off-the-shelf that he installed in his garage :D
