Finally got a decent pic of the wheels up

Well, not a high as other cars on the board, but at the time of this pic last year, she weighed around 3600 with driver and still had the A/C installed.

Re: Finally got a decent pic of the wheels up

Thanks guys!

The wheels are Weld Draglites 15x8 in the rear with a 4.5" BS. Slicks are M/T 10.5 x 28's

The front rims are Cragars (pretty much same as the draglites) and are 15x4. I don't remember the BS at the moment

Re: Finally got a decent pic of the wheels up

Sweet! Heres a stupid question. If you hook with NO spin, how much horse does it take to lift the wheels on a 3500 lbs car? 350? 400? 450+? I''m sure a stall helps too right? Never dragged before, only watched.

Re: Finally got a decent pic of the wheels up

hp is relative when you consider converter/gear size and/or clutch type/launch rpm. my 305 put down 243rwhp and would lift the front left tire 3" off the ground.

think a bicycle.. if you pedal while leaning over the handlebars, you will never lift the front.. but if you lean forward then suddenly all the way back while pedaling its very likely you will do a wheelie.. weight transfer..
