You can here our bird in the back ground(sorry). I had to take a video of the computer playing the DVD? I'll figure this stuff out some day? After this video, I moved 100lbs up front, went to a stiffer shock, literally tied the front down, for a inch of travel, and delayed the nitrous .3. It stays on the ground now, and next time out I'll put the delay back to 0. Oh ya, it bent the AJE wheelie bar like a pretzel!

Very nice. I would have put 10lbs in the nose, 1/2 lb more pressure, and put in bigger jets. Best cure for a wheelstand. 
Thanks everyone, I'm here to please!
I did put more air in the slicks  Bigger jets, sounds like a plan to me, maybe it will "black track" a little then?

Did the Ford in the other lane lose a motor too? 
nah, i think the big wheelie scared it so bad he tossed his cookies. 
i'm not a big fan of those AJE wheelie bars from what i've seen so far. they sure seem to fold up in a hurry. 
just a few more little tweaks and that ride should be hummin'

Thanks. The mustang did lose a motor, at least had a dead hole?
Dan, I am frustrated, but if I keep at it, everything will work out. I drove the car to the local cruise spot tonight, and borrowed a friends 8896 dominator,,,,, whole new car, tip into the secondary, and hold on, clean and crisp!( glad I had 2 lanes to work with).

Nice video Dave! Did you have 3 different people ready with camcorders?
Bob, a friend of mine, his brother has a deal with Bandimere to set up a booth, and do videos, I think there are only 2 of them?. 10 bucks a run. They were going to do a in car video, but said they'd catch me next time? Guess what, there won't be a next time. NO MORE WHEELIES!
I feel I was lucky this time not to hurt anything?A better driver would of beaten that Mustang!

This cant be any big surprise to you right? I saw your pic in the Darts post and you had a large wheelie there as well, so its not like you didnt know the car was gonna wheelie?... Wheelies are fun, but expensive. How is the weight scaling on that car?

I was really hoping that the wheelie bars would of worked? At the time of the video, the car was better then 50/50, with 1640lbs in the front, and 1670 in the back. Now it's 1740 in the front, and doesn't hardly lift a tire, at least with the delay. I think it is fine now, and maybe we can move some weight to the back eventually? I scaled the car last year, and the right rear was about 80 lbs light, so I put 73 lbs of lead there. You saw the results.
