:idea: O Dude its a must to cut a hole in the body. 1. Better ventilation 2. Lower temps 3. Lease chance of really fiddlesticking something up. Use an exacto knife if you don't have a Dremel or a plain ol'razor blade if not an exacto. Cut about a 2 inch hole in the windsheild. GOOD LUCK

The ventilation question has been answered.
The wheelie question is up to you. Gearing and suspension can both or separately gain you wheelies. My first question would be to ask, why on earth would you want wheelies? They waste power and are an annoyance, because once you get them...you have to actively try and get rid of them or else they will occur all the time.
In order to get wheelies via gearing, you need fewer teeth on the clutch bell and more teeth on the spur gear. More when compared to whatever you have now. To help the gearing, soften up the rear and stiffen up the front suspension. That means weaker springs in the rear and stronger ones in the front. This will allow the vehicle to squat when under power and cause the rear to drive up under the front, producing a wheelie.

just like me i wanted to do wheelies so bad because i saw a couple of buddies do some and thought it was cool as hell,but when i changed my engine and it started to do wheelies its really a pain in the ass and on the road it can start to cost you some money breaking parts etc. and for some reason when its way the hell at the other end of the park it wheelies and flips then gotta go get it 100 yards away so to me its more of a nusance then fun....also the hole is a must!!
