Should I be worried??

I'm looking at trading my 2001 ss for a built z28, it supposeably has a ms4 cam, some other mods and a 150 shot.. ran 10's in 1/4 and low 6's in 1/8.. from what I was told.

The only thing i'm worried about is it has a stock 10 bolt 410 yukon gear with locker..

10 bolts are notorious for breaking, if it had a 12 bolt i'd be fine obviously but.. should I not mess with it? or will i be fine?

PLEASE REPLY SOON lol

Gonna assume it's an auto to hold up to that. Either way..it's a ticking time bomb, so you'll want to switch it out asap.

There's no way in hell I'd be trading a SOM 01 SS camaro as it is. I'd keep it and find a high mileage f body to beat on.

I would keep what you have and add more to it. As others said it would be hard to trade a SOM SS for Z28 with some mods. Especially if it is the one in your sig!

First off I don't purchase what I can't see, cam.

Second unless I was very familiar with the car in question I would be cautious about buy a car with nitrous. If it's set up wrong it can easily damage the engine.

Third unless I saw the car run those times and made the deal without the car leaving my sight I wouldn't trust that the times were for that car, and that none of the parts that made it that quick hadn't been removed.

Call be paranoid but I have been burned in the past.

Good luck.
