I'm running on grade 8 ARP wheel studs. This is a 6 speed car making 400+ rwhp. I'm launching at 6000+ rpm on mickey thompson drag radials. Will I be ok? Anyone have a problem at this level?

* Edited, they're not stock GM studs

If you have stock wheel studs i would assume you have a stock rear. The rear will break before the wheel studs. Also drag radials are a no no on a 6 spd. Run a full slick. The soft side wall will give a little play compare to stiff side wall of a drag radial.

i have seen stock studs break at those levels even with a stock rear. and x2 on what was said about drag radials they suck with a m6

I have a 9" rear end. I went with a drag radial because I wanted something to drive on the street. I'm not driving an ET street/drag slick on the street. I'm satisfied with 1.6 60fts.

You have aftermarket wheel studs since your not using stock axles. You are good for a while but i have broken my wheel studs and they where the ARP ones. With a 6pd its not if they break its when they break. With a 6pd in time everything breaks

I think its in the suspension. Ive seen M6 cars pull both tires and run 1.4s on a DR. Since then I went back to DRs got good rear shocks and the car hooks way better on the street, but I have yet to get back to the track.

Thanks. I just found out it came with grade 8 ARP wheel studs.

Until you try to put a regular set of wheels on the car.
