I want big wheelies

Launch RPM?

Alan, I'm not sure how the incrementals compare - I'll do some research at Topeka this weekend. I kind of posted this tongue-in-cheek, but I'm curious nevertheless. The front shocks are not adjustable, and the rears only on extension.
Maurice - I've left at 5800 and 6200 with no noticeable difference in 60'.

Have 52% or more on the back wheels.

Use an "old school" clutch setup in it, with a 40 or 50# wheel.....it wont be the quickest but it will yank the front end the highest

Found this photo from last July's national open at MAM...

Looks better but was 3 tenths slower in the 1/8 at that time...changes since that day:
More power, fresh clutch, Calvert split monos, and replaced the Moroso springs (that I cut too far) with the original worn out 6 cylinder springs in front.
Oh, and new M/T 3056STs last September.

Big wheelstands are only possible with gapless rings.
