When did you break your stock wheel studs?

When did you break your stock wheel studs?
After watching a couple videos of cars launching and breaking wheels studs lately, I'm a little concerned about it. I have the stock 10-bolt and 60' foot in the mid 1.5x range with M/T DR's. Curious to see at what power level/60' foot times that you broke your stock wheel studs? thanks

I have wondered this too b/c soon im going with a spool and spend more time on the street than the track, I have herd that a spool puts more stress on the studs b/c they are the next weakest link.

2.5 inch ARP studs would be a good upgrade from factory legnth anyway, longer the better, but i'm judging by the draglites (?) you have on the rear. Part number 100-7708 for stock 12mm x 1.50 for got the size of the knurl but this part number is it. about $13 a side. upgrade all four corners for more insurance.

i had 1/2 studs in my 9 inch but i changed to 5/8 studs. If i was just a 10 or 11 second car id change to 1/2 studs. better to change them ahead of time for a few bucks then have them break at the track and send you in to the wall and cost 1000's
