    Guys get the tune up set right the car will leave hard enough to make a good run but not hard enough to warrant a wheelie bar and the extra weight it entitles.

    stacy hit the nail on the head why we don't use one...weight. with our normal set up, it just kind of dances the fronts off the ground.

    i will say this, if you ever get one of those lock em up clutches, put your wheelie bar on! :eek:
