I was watching a video of one the times I went to the track and saw an '87 chevy dually wheelie about 2' off the ground. He was running consistent 10.1's on a gas engine N/A. So, think anyone will be able to do it? I know it's pretty far fetched but, thought I'd throw the idea out there any way. What do you guys think?

 

You're going to need alot of power and some SERIOUS traction. By design a truck is at a mechanical disadvantage to lift the front since alot of it's weight is up front.

 

With the power plant you have in a reg cab with a 4000 stall tubed out, it could probibly be done. Any HP #s or track times with that monster?

 

I'll take a lot of suspension work to get that much weight transfer to the rear wheels and tires that will hook up.You can probably lift the wheels with a lot less horsepower than you think.Lifting the wheels might look cool,but generally you're better off performancewise to keep the frontend on the ground.

 

Yeah its real hard to steer, When your tires arent on on the ground and if it gets up to high its gonna drop like a rock if you back of the gas, and it breaks stuff.

 

No numbers yet but, track opens April 3rd. I know it's not it my best of interest to wheelie my truck nor do I think I ever will, I was just thinking out loud so to speak. It would look crazy as hell though, looking at a trucks driveline as they launch

 

i've seen pictures of lightnings popping wheelies that are in the 10's.

 

I've had people tell me that my Tahoe has lifted the wheels at the track.I discounted what they told me,but I do get good weight transfer with the Tahoe.

 

Move the engine to the bed!?!?!

Silent1,

I just read your sig.... My god your truck has to be a running **** with that 422! What do you dyno to at the wheels if you dont mind me asking?

 

I promise it will take more than a 10 bolt that is in the 1/2 tons!! 14 bolt FF or a some other stout rear axle!!
