guess how much horse power he has?

I would say 500 or so, he could have less but would have had to gear the heck out of it.

 

I was told it takes 4oo to lift the front wheels, and 500 to really get them up there.

I see a problem. What's the point of 4wd with horsepower. If the front wheels get stuck, just do a wheelie to get out. However, the rears will be in the same spot shortly with the nose in the air. Any attempt to apply power will result in another wheelie.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah, that's sarcasm.

I say 190HP if he is lucky!

 

Happens to me often. Granted the low gearing, traction, and terrain helps...

Back on topic, would he pull the front up if in 4wd, assuming he has it?

well, i used to have a 76 cj7 that would do wheelies on dry pavement. it had a mildly built 304. i figure it was putting out just over 300hp. i put some 4.56 gears in it. when i floored it at a green light, the front end would come off the ground a good couple feet. it also broke alot of axle shafts and u-joints doing it. it would rather lift up the front than do a burn out.

 

on a side note, i also had a 78 cj5 with a very built 401 with 4.10's in it and lockers. it would smoke all for tires on dry pavement. i only did it a couple times since 33's ain't cheap.

 

i agree on the gearing though. there's a guy here that can lift the front (not nearly as high) in his wrangler sierra with a 4 banger. but he has trouble going over 55 mph with it. ;)
