Default Should I or shouldn't I???

Ok, going to Bowling Green this weekend can't decide if i wanna run ET streets with skinnies or not. I still have the 10-bolt,I will not be dumping the clutch, just letting out on the clutch at a good rate (around 3K RPM). I shouldn't have anything to worry about (as rearend goes) right. I'm tired of having crappy 60's...this will be the first time to the track with LT and ORY...I know people would have more respect for the car if I go 12's on street tires, so you think i should or shouldn't run the ET streets???
