I would just like a couple nice pics of my 340 swinger with the front wheel snatched about a foot off the ground I don't need to be dragging the back bumper .
Well, I kinda hate to mention it, considering the recent threads on 8 3/4 strength..... but the first thing I would do in your shoes is put in a Dana or a nine, before you bust up your 8 3/4 and it's not saleable.
And wheelies kinda depend on track prep too. The first two tracks I took my car to were airport runways. Nothing. (Edit: and that was with 14" slicks!) Took it to a real strip, yanked the wheels about a foot.
