Default Installing 4.10's and triple nickels

Just wondering if anybody has had any luck with their stock 10 bolts with gears and a drag radial. Im hoping mine last's a little while at least. Car has a g5x3 cam and longtubes makes a little under 400 to the tarr. No idea what its gonna run or how long the rear will last. Just hoping some of you all have a similiar setup still running the 7.5 rearend lol

they are just that weak. I never broke it at the track. all were playing on the street. If its your daily driver, just leave street tires on it.

It def is my daily/only... The tires are on their way as well. I was gonna go with the et streets but everyone said they dead hook and sucked on a daily so i thought the nitto's would be my best bet on some forgiveness on my rearend and better tread life.

I am not taking the chance ... I am in the process of installing an S60 before I even attempt lauching on anything sticky.

They will live behind auto's.

If you have the sledge hammer of parts you should just put the money your about to spend on those 4.10's into the 9"/S60 fund...

^ the money i spent two weeks ago on the tires and gears ( about $500 ) lol just now getting around to getting em in. My car was an auto up until about 10k miles ago though.. maybe that'll give me some spare time lol Im not gonna sidestep the clutch at the track though. Just roll out easy then lay into it i reckon... Fingers crossed and say a little prayer everytime ha

My 10 bolt lasted a while letting the clutch out at idle then stomping it.

My sisters car has gone 11.1's on a 10 bolt with et streets but its a auto which is much easier on the rear.
