Yes sir.. When it blows I'll switch to a 12bolt. No need for the added weight on a 9" for an auto.

Broke mine on saturday, snapped the axle in half. making over 460 to the tires. H/C/I car stock bottom end. Running 27" hoosiers, lasted 5 passes, hit an 11.54 at 122.50 with a not so great 1.78 60 foot. I cut a 1.68 on the pass before but missed a gear so couldve easily a low 11 second pass. this was on a stock 10 bolt with 410s and trickflow cover in a 6 speed ss. This was my first trip to the track on my new build and slicks....so they may last long, or may not haah, cant really put a time on it.

Yea that's wild that Gm would put such a weak rearend but guess that 10 bolt can go at anytime

My car is 3720lbs full weight with the stock 10 bolt,3.23 gears,4000 stall and puts 439 to the wheels. My best 60ft is a 1.53 .My buddies car is similar and he has run 1.46 60ft.Like mentioned already an automatic car is a lot easier on the rear end and it will last a while longer in automatic car. I still expect to break mine any time.

I've been 11.1 many times on my m6 10bolt car. But I have broke 2 axles. The trick to making the r&p live is to not use 4.10/4.11 gear. Back off to a 3.90 or 3.73 then break axles. Axles are cheap.

The jolt is what breaks them. They flex. a stock 6 speed car can break one easy.

autos however, go a lot longer. Unless you are hitting one with a transbrake, it prob wont break for a long time

Well guess ill run mine until it breaks lol I'm on 3.23 so I guess I'll be fine

The thing that spooks me about breaking axles are the c clips. 3 wheelin into the wall is not something that interests me. I considered adding c clip eliminators, but it just gets too expensive to not step up.

Imma check into the c clip eliminator

they will take allot, I run low 11s and 1.60 short times, 7.2 in the 1/8th all summer and its still going strong. Even with 4.10s. Hope to go 10.8s next year on it

Once sixty foots get in the 1.4 range even with a girdle and axle tubes welded its risky.

Get the car light,weld your axle tubes,run a solid crush sleeve and a girdle on an automatic and you should be fine till you get into the 1.4 range.

I agree with Mike on the auto's.....but damn it...I just broke my 3rd axle with my m6. But atleast the r&p is staying together. Anyone got any good axles so I can get to the 10's???lol
