so is my rearend going to blow? i have a 2000 SS m6
mti lid, slp y and slp loudmouth exhaust
fast toys ram air kit
im thinking of running slicks at the track...am i pretty much screwed if i run slicks or should i be ok....
ive run bfg drag radials and only get 2.0 60 foot times and run a 13.0 @108mph
im thinking with slicks i should be in the 12's but im worried about my stock rear.
any advice or tips?

I ran 275/35/zr 18's with bfg drag radials at the track and got a 2.0 second 60' when i was a little below 300 whp...I slipped the clutch a little bit more than usual to keep the rear end together, but it eventually broke when I went with street tires and added the blower...If you need some assurance, a stronger set of after market gears and a T/A girdle will help prolong its life. If youve got some money saved and dont care about the rear end, give it a try!!

Your really rolling the dice with a M6, most dont make it when you jump to sticky tires.. If you had a A4, you can get away with alot more.. Id go with it and just start saving for a 9" or 12 bolt...

im just borrowing the slicks so this is a one time at the track kinda thing. im just trying to decide if its worth breaking everything just to beat a few friends and get my 12 second time slip.
