How to make a MoPar do a wheelstand?

I have looked on the web and people out there with little knowledge can be a pain, but what mods would you have to do to make a MoPar do a wheelie/wheel stand what you may call it. I know the basics to make it work is, slicks are good to have, but i dont think you need them. Have a larger tire in the back then front. Put a different cam in, better intake, new performance exhaust. There am sure is stuff you need to do to the tranny. And i read that 4:10 gear ratio is good to do this. And to top what i am knowledge able of a wheelie bar. For a example car lets go with a Plymouth Duster 340. And no Nox, and a little side story... my uncle who owned a old GTX that was never fixed up. And a 69 Charger with a 440 and my aunt had a 70 Challenger and a 68 Charger with 383. And my uncle is and has been since about high school and even a little earlier been into muscle cars and cars in general. So he being in the 70s in high school had friend with muscle cars. And one whos last name Krinsley and that what we call him had i have to ask my uncle but it was a 60s GTX and they modified that so when you punched it it would go 2 feet off the ground.

You might try to track this guy down. Ever seen a F-Body wagon pull the wheels off the ground before.

That's a cool Aspen. For you to be able to do wheelies You are looking a building a race car and lots of HP. Not a street car to impress your friends with...Street tires are not going to do it.

Heres your "rice burner wheelie"..

I don't know why people hate on foreign cars... theres nothing wrong with them. And built in their true own unique way, they can and will still be bad ***. I'm waiting till I have the time out of school till i can finish up my build, a turbocharged vr6 that'll be going into my Mk2. Plan on making 300whp. Badass little european rice burner.

EDIT: Btw, if you're going for a wheel stand, lose the wheelie bars. They're just is to stop the wheelie and bring the car back down making for a more efficient pass. Also lose sway bars (if any).

Blue 68 find us a newer Mopar pulling the wheels off the ground. Even a Dodge Ram would be good. We like new Mopars to.

Eric, you can call me Nick. And my point for posting these was to prove a point. I could post some Chevys...

That's a pretty ignorant *** statement. There is nothing wrong with a foreign built car. A 4 cylinder can go just as fast as an 8 cylinder car.

I love my Mopars, but maybe it's time for you to grow up and not be such a brand enthusiast and enjoy what other people can build out of cars that ARE NOT a Mopar or Domestic car.

Blue i like euro cars, like Porches and Ferrari and BMWs. I am not into ricer burners, for a few reasons. The guys they have them are into the RPMs not the torque. And god i hate the sound they make a buzzing sound. I like the sound a car with power makes a rumble. And a lot of them are FWD, try driving that around New England in the winter, it dont work to well. And this is not the car but the stupid huge rims with a 1" of tire! What is that, you will kill the rim with one pot hole on our road. Yes there movies but they all have Nox. And real life it is probably pretty close. See now i would drive a BMW or Porsche any day. They have torque and designed originally for racing. And your statement a 4 cyl can go as fast as 8 cyl. on only i know that is true is the Lotus cars.

What about Subaru's and Mitsubishi's? An Sti and an Evo can easily run mid 13's stock with a decent driver, get good gas mileage, are torquey son of a bitches and are AWD. Yet people still consider them "Ricer burners", seeing as how they are Japanese oriented.

My good friends Evo with a slipping clutch ran 13.20's, and all he has is cat back exhaust and a warm air intake. He knows how to drive. My brothers Sti with turbo back and an access port with a front mount put down 330 whp with 320 lbs of torque. It's a torque monster and doesn't fall too far behind my Dart. I would know.

Your point doesn't hold up, my 2 cents.
