Do you run 10's in the quarter? Otherwise you dont make enough power to lift the front end of a 3600 lb car.

take as much wieght as you can possibly think of off the front end...that always helps...less wieght up front less power needed to lift the front

TIRES.. if its not drag radials, slicks, or DOT slicks, you dont have a chance.. secondly, weight transfer.. soft springs, soft struts and shocks, LCA relocation brackets, LCA's, torque arm, panhard, and move weight from front to trunk(anything and everything)..

Take a bunch of weight off the front end and put some 6.00 gears in the diff. That should produce enough torque to lift the front wheels.

Go to walmart and buy a small waterbed mattress put it in the back and put as much water in it as you can. This will help alot.
