Default input on wheelie/traction bars

im looking for some input on wheelie/traction bars..im thinking of doing a setup with 2 air cylinders that can be actived at the line to put presure on the rear and keep the from pushed down and elminate any rear squat and deactivate at a given mph...our local track is no good for prep..they only prep the first 60ft and even then its not often, the car is a 99si with 700whp ,24.5x9x13 the best 60ft i can get is 1.7x ...would the wheelie bar setup really help with 60fts and 330fts?....any input would be great

how much pressure do you run in your front slicks ?

how old are your slicks ?

have you had an alignment done recently ?

what is your launch rpm ?

how much boost are you building on the launch limiter ?

open diff or lsd ?

what shock/springs on front ?

are your suspension bushings shot ?

do you run a traction bar up front ?
