Default I have 4.10's coming

They are richmond gears in a stock 10 bolt. It's all fresh. If I get a aluminum driveshaft, how well do you think my gears and 10 bolt will hold up to maybe drag radials, street radials, or even slicks?

I maybe taking this to the track soon and I want to make sure it can hold up and get me some good track times.

it wont hold anything more than street tires, but with street tires you wont be breaking it.

4.10's and drags or slicks is like a timb bomb waiting to go off. It will grenade, its only a matter of when so do be surprised. This is why I bought Yukon gears which are identical to the 2-cut GM gears from Randys ring and pinion. They have a free replacement no questions asked warranty. I could put on slicks and dump the clutch at 6K and pop every single tooth off both gears and they would just send another set in 2 days. Good thing I am now a pro at installing gears.

As long as you preload the rear with the parking brake up and slip the clutch a bit, then you can make ur 10 bolt last quite a while... im still on my 10 bolt with 3.73's launching at 5k and pulling a best of 12.6

*Edit* I was on M/T Street slicks and skinnies as well...

I just got my 4.10s in on my stock 10-bolt, too, LOL. I'm currently running 11" Nitto 555Rs, and they hook so well, that I can't really do a burn-out...
