Default Will I break?

Hey I'm thinking about adding a NOS 100 dry shot to my car. Will I break my rear?
Here's the mods:
Factory 1LE
lid, y-pipe, random tech cat back, wires, tr-6s, RAM chutch.........that's about it?
What kind of times should I expect, and will I break? Thanks!

Add some serious tires to the mix or a deadly dose of wheelhop and yes, you'll bust it.

From what I hear, it has a lot to do with how lucky you are <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I haven't broken mine yet, but then again my stock clutch slips a little. With a nice RAM clutch in there i think it'd be toast.

I wouldn't try to launch on the NOS, you'd either break your rear (with some decent tires) or you'd burn up your clutch trying to be nice to your rear.

Not sure if i like the way that sounds, but you get the idea <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thanks guys, I was thinking of launching without it and then use it from 2nd through the end of the run, just to be nice to the rear. I havn't experienced wheel hop before, I guess because of the 1LE suspension, so hopefully without spraying in 1st it shouldn't be a problem.

You should be safe if you don't spray from the get go.
