ET with and without wheelie.

Going back to the first question of this post,if wheelies helped or hurt ET's,,Linda and I have definitely done testing for both and in our setup,69 Camaro 350 255hp in G/SA, the results were very impressive. Many might disagree but we found that our multi leaf rear suspension with slapper bars were just as good if not better than the modern day setup that so many run now. Also we found you need a really good front shock and springs to control the lift and landing. We also found a clamp on wheelie bar works great with the setup we have.
Overall,,Linda and I found,with all our computer data,that to much of a wheelie,,bumper scaping,affects et and no wheelie affects our ET and,,low horsepower and lots of horsepower affects ET plus wheel stands. One thing Linda and I know is Alan Rhinehart and Joe Castillo sure do like Stock Eliminator and wheel standing cars.
