Can my truck do wheelies with all this?

im having a 5.7 liter hemi put into my old dakota with a whole new top end kit and a superchips cortex power programmer, summit racing headers with high flow catalytic converters and flowtech mufflers, traction bars and street legal bfgoodrich drag radials. expensive... my mechanic estimates it to be at about 600 hp. and about 800 ft lbs of torque when finished. now im just curious. with that much torque or at least close to that. will my truck be able to do wheelies?? the truck weights about 3000-3500 lbs.



just curious thanxCan my truck do wheelies with all this?
I have an S-10 with simular specs and mine will not. It has plenty of motor but with the street drag tires its near impossible. If you wanted to add 400-500lbs. of weight to the rear it would but otherwise not with the street drag tires.



Best of luck.



mine is an 84 S-10 with a fuel injected TPI 350 from an '86 vette.Can my truck do wheelies with all this?
if you want to do wheelies you first have to move the weight bias toward the rear, about 2 feet, toward the rear axel. next the motor has to be mounted front and rear to the frame, so it does not bounce out when the truck comes down, factory motor mounts are not designed to handle that much hp., so fabrication of front and rear plates is a must. lastly you did nothing to the brakes? those upgrades are going to be useless if you embed your truck in say a bus. you need to upgrade the brakes badly, all the power on earth is useless without control. and Bonneville salt flats can tell you exactly how fast it is going to be, look them up at Southern California Timing Association, and watch the movie the fastest indian with Anthony Hopkins, it may do you some good
