Default Argh... 10 bolt...

Wel l guess I need to re-build my stupid 10 bolt. Its whining like a ****, oh and some kinnda grinding noise is coming from it too.....

funny thing i made 3 passes the other night with 1.74, 1.74, 1.73 60's and its toast. How many of you guys are still running the 10 bolt w/o any problems. I don't think im making any kinnda power to kill this thing being its a auto. I made some 1.7 60's with my old LT1 car and the 10 bolt was fine on that POS....

its inevitable you will have problems if you drag race your car. autos are easy on the 10 bolt but still. most of the time you hurt the posi in the auto cars.

if you love drag racing and can swing it, buy a 12 bolt. cheaper in the long run by far.
