Do both of you run leaf springs

When I put my wheelie bars on, the shock manufacturer told me to avoid the spring loaded type. I hit the bars pretty hard too, so I just raised them higher and that has worked really well for me. It either doesn't go high enough to hit them at all on some tracks, or it hits them much softer if it does go that high.

Your car looks great by the way, can you give up some info on it?

Your car is very nice! Nice launch! My motor is a 498 with Indy-1 heads! It has a flat tappet cam with 630-650 lift! Mine is a ladder bar car!

I run almost the same motor in my car...but its 4 link and I dont even pull the fronts on a 1.32 60ft...BTW..no wheelie bars !!!...but your question is about wheelie bars...stay unsprung...the less amount of springs you have the less headache you have....try controling the wheelstands by limitng the front end travel...sounds like you could pick up some 60ft by working on the front end more.

i just converted a set of 52 inch solids to the spring loaded.

only place i could get a kit to convert them was from Alston.

in a few weeks we will see how it hits with the changes i done to the car.

Thanks for the info!! I think i will try the front end limiter route first! I just don't want to kill the wheelies too much! That's my favorite part of the run!
