Just to clarify, this is your IROC then? http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/tr...f-10-bolt.html It says in the first post you were launching at 4k on drag radials. I was under the impression you were launching the car at the strip? Maybe I assumed incorrectly that by launching you meant at the strip when you really just meant on the street? Please clarify here...

Thanks for the clarification. Your car is a different one than the one I thought it was, then. Sweet car by the way!

No, it's the same car, I'm sure...


I removed the stickers and such from it when I got it. I bought it from "zdaddy" in 2010

It would hold up some, but I don't plan on keeping it in there...

I have this...

Ah, well you didn't mention you bought it from him! I was looking at the usernames on the two different threads and didn't think about the car changing hands. Makes sense.

Right on. I actually had the orignal 10 bolt with just a cover and shock proof gear oil last 7yrs. It was an auto , but still lasted 2years running 10's.

I plan on doing this exact set up as well, with new eaton posi, new gears, with the LPW Kit, yes i know I'm an automatic but it's more of an insurance. i dont mind spending the money if it'll help it. still way less than a 12-9 bolt lol this car is more street/daily driver more than a track car. but this car was babied before it got to me, very well taken care of, previous owner probably put 20,000 miles on it in 10 years, garage kept. would anyone think I should still buy new axles? if so...what kind? *car had 93,000 miles on it, all stock when I got it, has 115,000 now*

original 10 bolt on street tires gave up on me at about 100k miles. Had her COMPLETELY rebuilt by a top professional in the area...now she has 123k miles and she blew up (with street tires with no launches) earlier this week.

I think I'll got the TA girdle route and give her one more try...

Mine is doing well, but I use mine for 99% street cruising - not a daily driver.

I also dropped down to 3.23 gears from 3.73's. The 3.23's gear set is a little bit thicker.

IMO the more complete the package the less likely the 10 bolt will break even after installing the LPW braces and girdle. You also need to install a solid pinion spacer along with a good pan hard bar, LCA's, and aftermarket torque arm to lessen the risk of breakage.
