How to prepare my car for the dragstrip?

Oh, OK. So you didn't read my later post then, so you don't realize that I admitted that maybe it wasn't a wheelie? You know, it's always a good idea to read the entire thread before responding ...how many more times am I going to have to admit it before you'll chill a little?

I also notice that you didn't respond to any of the factual points that were raised, such as the much lighter weight and shorter wheelbase of the '60-'62 cars.

So if it would take 700 horsepower to pop a wheelie in a 3,400-lb car with a 116" wheelbase, would you please give us your opinion of how much horsepower you think would be necessary to pop a wheelie in a 2,500-lb. car with a 106" wheelbase? In doing so, you might want to recall the reasons why altered wheelbase drag cars had aluminum body panels and the rear axle was moved forward.

I look forward to reading your reply.
