you losing foward motion when the wheels are in the air , looks to me you have an adequate wheelstand. I surely wouldn't want anymore.  Nice ride !

How is the weight bias on your car now? We took around 80 off the front of mine last year and got my car to 51/49. It helped the launch in my opinion, just not night and day different. It will depend on the weight bias though.
Are you leaving off a brake? What RPM? I really like the launch pic. What was the 60ft? I am still footbraking mine.

Looks like you left early  .... it could really hurt you to take it off the front(most likely its gonna go higher)

YEA, Thats looks like a Early leave.....Great pic of your car though..i am almost done building my new car and am worried about the same problem..i took a car and backhalfed it,12 point cage(MS)put a MF tublar K-member on it, then turned around and used a Indy Maxx alum block for my build..I am worried i may have just built a Wheelie Monster....the cars wheel base was 111" but now is 113, i know thats 2" is not alot but hoping it will help some..i would love to beable to run my car without wheelie bars, but if i need them ok..i would be interested in what balance of weight is ideal ?? 50/50,, 45/55...55/45 ??????

There is no cut and dried answer, weight bias, torque,
trans gearing, wheel base, tire size, location of
your engine and height of it. I'm at 52% on the rear
with me in it but on a 97" wheel base BUT my issue
is the height of my engine... it sets up high and
back... it was perfect for my old engine but since
then I build this one with another 100 hp and more
torque

Depends on the track too. I've run a few NMCA events at Memphis and that starting line has TEETH. Same for Rt. 66 in Chicago.
If you take the same car to a few other tracks I know of, you will hardly lift the wheels at all.
