Go or No I'm running a 10 bolt with 4.10s, heads, cam, intake car, the next race is this thrusday and the last time I went with street tires I spint like crazy the track sucked so I don't want to take it without my ET Streets, the track is a little over 2 hours away and I definatley don't want to break down. Do you guys think I should risk it and run the ET streets or just stay home until my 9 inch comes in. Maybe run the ET streets and not leave hard? I really want an 11 second time slip and I don't want to wait until next year. So do you guys think I'll break if I'm somewhat gentle. She all ready makes a little noise? Thanks
Well I'm sure you 10 bolt is at the end of its ticking time bomb.... Mines pretty much done & I have less mods then you. But if you wanna risk it then go. I def wouldn't launch hard. If its not making any noises then you should be chill.
Don't do a John Force type burnout, just spin the tires enough to clean them off. SLIP the clutch. I cut a 1.98 60' on the pic in my sig SLIPPING the clutch as high as 4800 RPMs on 325/50/15 ET Street Radials and still drove home that night. Let it out too fast or shift super hard/fast on hot, sticky tires and kiss the 10 bolt goodbye. My friends were egging me on to go with higher RPMs or even an all out clutch dump, but I wanted to drive home. I could taste 11's, but it wasn't worth breaking at the track. Good luck.

I'm more worried about the shifts than the launch. I can always ease out but once I get rolling I can't resist the temptation to bang the hell out of it. At the track the last time I couldn't even really floor it. It was breaking hitting 3rd and 4th the track was so bad. I cut a 3.1 60 once haha. I was embarassed then I got em down to 2.3 but that was crawling out and then flooring it once I got rolling and it still just kicked sidways 1 2 3 I'd let off and then hit 4th and it'd kick a little once again. And the 10 bolt is all ready singing a little thanks
