Another 10 bolt question Ok, i have a semi beefed up stock 10 bolt (rear end girdle, and detroit tru trac gears). My car was last dyno'd at around 350-360rwhp and 380tq (roughly). I am setting the car up more for autox/road course stuff, but want to take it to the drag strip. It will have a torque arm, and full suspension set up. Weight around 3300 w/driver (i'm guessing). Does anyone have any feelings on whether my rear end will hold up. This is w/street tires, and an m6. Thank you all for your help!

Ok, I appreciate the help. I thought it may do a little better than that, just based on what i read a while back about a guy running 9's on a 10 bolt. His car was only 2800 lbs... and probably a spool as opposed to street gears... So i assume that could make quite a difference. Thanks again!

If you want a good slip you need to get up on that tire and let the clutch dump off the line @5-6k rpm and hold on. Then shift clean. To do that you do need a good driveline, suspension, and a bias-ply slick.
Been there, done that, broke ****, still learning but I will tell you it is not cheap.
Caught some good air on this run, the right had bout 1 ft off the ground at full extention. Spent the past few years gathering parts to keep it level, straight, and safe and looking for a fall run to get a better slip.
