Battery relocate probably wouldn't hurt if you're trying to pop a wheelie.

Auto or manual? You know these cars came with 5 speed autos and manual transmissions, so the above comment doesn't help. This is one of the most important factors as you can leave a lot harder with a manual by launching at a much higher rpm then you would with the auto (at your level)---all out racing autos with a transbrake thats a different story

This is my friends Bullitt. FRPP Whipple, 4.10 gears, LCA Relocation, 18" M&H's. He has since re-tuned it, put the 3.73's back in, and installed 18" Mickey Thompsons. He just went 1.51 60' 11.18 @ 123 MPH.

My car needs a floor jack to get the front tires off of the ground.

That was before I put the Steeda anti-roll bar in. With an anti-roll bar it would leave equal.

Lightweight front end components, dialed in suspension and sticky tires.

I left at 13psi on the one with the back to camera.
My car made 640 at 16psi, but had a bad leak on the hot side pipe. It wouldnt let me turn the boost up anymore past 16psi.

It doesn't take a lot of power......

My car made 317/340 at the time, I was on Bogarts, slicks, 5 speed manual..... Leaving at 6000 and it would pull the left front about 8 inches....

definitely helps launching at higher rpm's. even off my nitrous launches I don't think I ever lifted the front wheels since I had the stock torque converter and couldn't launch higher than about 2000rpms
