How much horse power is needed and rearend setup etc. to do some decent wheel stands.

Thanks.

1986 SC Camaro
Mods: Threw 2.8 in garbage, put in rebuilt
350 .060 over, XE268H Comp cam, Edlebrock
Performer Intake and Edlebrock 600 CFM Carb,
Pete Jackson noisy GearDrive (which sounded
cool for about 5 minutes, now I'm sick of it)
Rebuilt TH350, 3.42 Rear Gears. LCA RLB's.

 

On a typical nose heavy street car about 500 rear wheel HP (if you can get it to the ground) should lift the front wheels a little bit off the ground. Don't forget that late 60's big block muscle cars had that kind of power and still couldn't do it.

You can do it with a lot less HP with proper weight distribution, gearing, shocks and suspension. It's not really the HP that's required but the torque. Put some 5.13 gears on a car with 26" tall tires, add in some 90/10 drag struts on the front and maybe only 350 HP would lift it. Trouble is you'd probably just spin the wheels instead.

 

Bummer. But I see them so often. Guess you gotta have lots of power and money.

Thanks.
