Get a 12-bolt or a 9" crowd..
Get a 12-bolt or a 9" crowd.. How ya like them apples? Stock 10 bolt, 6spd, M/T's, full exhaust and a K&N 12.50's@113ish and it's been quick on since new. But 10 bolts are weak rubbish, right?
Try launching it by side-stepping the clutch at 6000 rpms and let me know how those apples taste. Of course it might take you a while to get back to me since you'll have to pick up all the little pieces of your 10 bolt and get a tow truck ride home.

My nittos dont grip quite as much as your MTs but I have alot more power going to the wheels than you do and my 10 bolt has lasted many launches, but im not going to expect it to last forever.
Nice time for your mods by the way...

Launch the car the same every time, the car and driver are almost good enough to be a bracket car, but that isn't real drag racing. It was a good car from the get go. 13.00's @108 stock.
there plenty of guys goin much faster on 10 bolts. face it, its gonna break. mine broke 3 times when my ta was dead stock on the street with eagle rsa's.who wants to take bets on when nick_s 10 bolt is gonna break?

I know this is a old post, but that is my car that nick S is talking about. I have 45 passes on the car and half of them have etstreets. I do launch at 5000 if the track will hold. I know in racing every thing brakes. I don't care what you got if you abuse it, its going to brake. I use to crew for several top fuel team and you could has the best **** made and its going to brake. So I know the rearend is going to brake WHEN ?

Ya I'm babied it out. Take a look at the rear tire, seems to have a little wrinkle in there and a large gap between the tire and the fender. By the way I believe the tire pressure was 18 psi.
