Just currious, anyone here running enough power, ON THE IRS SYSTEM, to get the front tires off the ground?? I am just really interested in if people have been able to accomplish air up front, with out having to be trailed home in 100 peices?, or if a live axel is a MUST for that sort of thing?? (if anyone has picts, I just can't get over how awesome that looks):beer:

good question!
I would think you'd need to get as much wieght off the nose as possible first.
Then some drag suspension components. Front and rear.
Girdle, and possible stock axles, but I'm sure they wouldn't put up to it too many times. Also the input shaft would probably give up.
Also the stock clutch it terrible for prolonged 6k dumps which is what would be required.

there is a video in circulation of a street race where a cobra pulls the tires. the story is that it has irs but is lightened in the front (k member)
That video is awesome. I heard that he had 4.30 or higher gears. MT ET Streets, and lightened front end. Not sure what motor mods were done but heard that he was using nitrous.
Yep, I've seen that video, and it's awesome.
If you want the video, I can email it to you. Its 6.5MB - Just let me know by E-Mail - [email protected]
A lot of gear, big sticky tires in the rear, small tires in the front, k member, and drag springs in the front and rear, and some weight reduction mods. We aren't talking about rocket science.
I bet that car is running 4.56s.
