Welcome 19Nova72 to the site. I am everyones hero here and would like to say hi personally. Things get a little busy with my signing autographs all the time, but I thought I would take a minute out of my busy day to say HI... The only way you will pull the front wheels is with a small block. Dont even think about putting a BB lead ancor in the car.....

Please forgive Monty, ever since he got his BUTT whipped by the BBNova, he forgot that his 3 cylinder Yugo is all that he has, he got this complex we don't like to talk about. As for the pic. of the Yellow Camaro, it's really from a magazine. But don't tell him, he's of his med's right now. HAHA. John :twisted:

P.S. DO NOT meet him in person, he thinks it's a date.

My goal is 12's in 100% street trim. I would like to be at a stop light and know that I have a 12 second car when some guy is revvin at me. How do you get traction with normal street tires? I can't use drag radials either because of the rain :? Is weight transfer the key? What if I filled the trunck with bags of concrete would that help me pull a wheelie lol. Thats cool Snyper! Can you do that on the street? With slicks?

Hey man, 12's in full street trim can be achieved very simple... :D I run a hoosier 28x14.5 quick time pro tire, it is DOT approved and awsome on the street.. :twisted: I live in spokane and the streets are not very well maintained(lots of pot holes :( ) But we do have a few spots where wheelies can be achieved on the street, chicks dig it!!!!! :wink:

Drag radials are not bad in the rain....How much street driving do you do?? My buddie runs bfg drag radials on his 70 chevelle and runs in the 10.50 to 10.40 range with them :twisted: Just my two cents...Later, Travis

I have to drive it everyday to school and work, 40 miles a day isnt uncommon. It rains a bit around here too. Maybe I will just have to get some drag radials on a spare set of wheels and bust them out on dry days :wink: Do you have any pics of street wheelies?
