What's the weak link?

See my sig. BFG KDW No other mods. M6

I want to see how these mods do on my car at the track. Can my stock Aluminum DS and Clutch handle this? I'm figuring my tires will spin before damaging the stock Alum DS or clutch.

Any Comments?

KDWS or KDW tires?

IF kdws i don't see you getting good enough traction to do any damage, (i have them... spin like crazy)

if the KDW you can get better traction, but you should be fine, if your clutch holds.
