is there a formula to work out length of wheelie bars

I have a friend who runs a Mitsubishi starion - with a big block
a very powerful big block

wheelstands during launch were overcome with adjustment of 4 link and what now seems to be too short wheelie bars

the short wheelie bars tend to hit again just right after car settles down from initial launch and unsettles car

they have been advised to lengthen wheelie bars

I looked through Jegs catalog and saw some universal bars go up to 60 - 62 inches in length

how do you determine length at which to cut and install bars??

Is there a formula - or approach to this

Thanks for any help
