M6 guys need to look into managing the clutch's lockup characteristics. Properly done, the hit on your 7.5 will be softer than that of an A4, while actually increasing overall acceleration rate.

You will also be able to run more efficient radials, no more need to make your passes on half flat slicks.

I did. Your statement seemed like (and still seems like) a generalization, not a personal concern. Hence my reply.

Ok, in general, they're junk. A few guys get them to survive under abnormal circumstances but the vast majority experience failures. IMO...If they were a decent rear there would be allot less people spending the $$$ to upgrade.

And again, this generalization is for the M6 crowd. So we have come full circle.

This is one of my 10 bolts behind an m6. Not earth shattering by any means but they can take this kinda stuff all day everyday when done right (basic rebuild stuff nothing fancy).

How many passes and miles did you have on your 10 bolt? I'm contemplating going 8.8 but my car will not see more than 340whp and 2.0 sec + 60ft times. I can save over $1500 bucks just rebuilding the ten bolt. What do you think?

That is fairly impressive brother, mine broke on the street hitting it at a roll with drag radials.

Even MORE specifically, the M6 DRAG RACING crowd.

My stock rear never broke. I rebuilt it and installed 373s and it never broke. Prolly made 50 passes but went wot on the street daily. I pulled it for a 12 bolt, let it sit 2 or 3 years and recently sold it to someone needing one and he is beating the **** out of it. No issues.
