Pullin a wheelie!
ok, here's the deal. my goal with my car is to pull a wheelie. plain and simple. now i know it may seem childish or whatever to some of you. but the way i see it is, that's what these cars are all about, having fun and creating lots of power. and to me, pulling a wheelie is fun and shows the power. now i'm not talkin pullin crazy 5ft wheelies. i just wanna get the front wheels of the ground. whether it's 2 inches or 5ft. now i'm wondering what you guys think i'm gonna need. i've got a 72 nova, with a 250 straight six and 3 on the tree(for now). i'm porbly gonna go with a 454 block as starting point, although i can get my hands on a complete tri-power 427. i know the main thing is hookin up, but what kind of power do you think i'm lookin to aim for? do you think i can do this on somewhat of a budget or am i gonna need 3 thousand dollar heads, 500 dollar intake, and 700 carb, and all sorts of crazy exotic parts.
Your positive feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
