FWD Wheelie bar info

Has anyone on here got experience with these things?

Ususally a tyre pressure of 8psi-12psi is good on a wrinkle slick but do you run higher with a wheelir bar so you not racing the full length of the strip with 2 flat tyres? Obviously without the bar the tyres sort of inflate out as the nose lifts, with the bar it stays squashed.

Any info appreciated and repped :)

Youl have to sift through the crap to find an answer though.

Does a wheelie bar need to be a fixed structure to comply with regulations? Just it seems it would be so much more effective if it had a damper system fitted to increase the load it excerst on the road during launch and just after gearshifts, when the weight of the car is pushed onto the rear the most. It could also nearly lift at higher speeds to keep stability improved as well, VW used to have a system fitted to standard Golfs rear axles years ago.
