Several of us have ran deep into the 6s with them for many passes cutting mid 1.4 shorts. I have a buddy running in the 9s with a turbo car on stock rear.

They will last quite a few passes hitting mid-high 1.4 short times... You're on borrowed time however. Just keep in your head it could let go on any pass.

Yea but if Im spraying Im spraying where it helps pick the et up the most, the 60ft.
You can buy a used rear for under 250$ all day long.

Im hoping for some mid 1.4s short times and 6.8s in the 1/8 on motor... I expect it to hold 2-3 track visits.. 15 passes or so.. If it gets more great but it would surprise me if it went before that.

I think you guys broke while getting on it.... They finally let go cruising. I could be wrong, just an assumption.
