Max2 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) It can be done, but not with a modern factory car that has front struts. A lot of guys used to pull the front shocks off of their drag beaters to get more weight transfer to help with traction. The problem with this is too much power is being lost in this big weight shift instead of propelling the car forward. With modern four link rear suspensions and adjustable coil over shocks for the rear, racers can adjust how much squat they need without breaking the tires loose...(although its still a fine line). Pro Stock race cars produce 6 G's on takeoff compared to 4 G's on a 8000 horsepower Top Fuel rail. Even then, the Pro stockers don't want to pull the tires off the ground. A properly setup drag car doesn't want to pull the tires. http://youtu.be/dkF1qwnBIsM Why cant I embed this video?
