        Sedans will be more difficult to get to pull the wheel. You will most likely just spin.

          no matter, I'm sure it will pull really well, though.

            You will be spending alot of time getting the car to hook. And lots money on tires . My wagon, which has a couple hundred pounds more than a sedan hanging over the rear axle will get loose on a 20mph roll with the puny 250 or so HP I have. My 200 HP sedan could get sideways at 50mph if there was a drop of water on the road.

              Sadly I don't have that problem . I think I might follow your HO recipe for my new engine whenever the car painted!

                My car with a suspension that makes me shiver thinking of trying to do an emergency maneuver on the street with 325/50r15 drag radials with 15 psi, will still spin the tires a little on the strip with 3.55s and a 2500 stall. On the street if i punch it i just spin like crazy. i tried to launch on the bottle once at bradenton, i was almost sideways before i passed the christmas tree.

                  Once it warms up (and I get get some $$) the wagon will be recieving a good amount of attention to it's rear suspension. Needs some anti squat dialed into it, new shocks, heavier springs, control arms, and different rear sway bar. The wagon easily lifts the inside rear and oversteers with the slightest lift throttle.

                    If your inside rear is lifting then you need less rear roll stiffness or more front stiffness.

                      No, I need longer shocks. The shocks are hitting full extension. Only has 1-1.5" of extension from ride hieght. I do also need a stiffer front bar. Considering making the Addco work or just trying a box PI bar. The car corners pretty damn flat as is.
