Default handle it?

I was just wondering if my stock rear would hold up with these mods.
2001 Trans am M6
Current mods: full exhaust, slp lid, k&n,
Upcoming mods: 4.10 gears, nitto 555r's, Trex cam, 150 shot, electric water pump, subframe connectors, electric cutouts, and dyno tuned. I plan on finishing up these mod by the end of the year and would like to see if maybe i should forget the cams and save up for a rear end? Thanks for any help

NO!

It will not hold up. I'd save for the rear if you can't afford to have your car down between 10-bolt repairs.

Good luck.

I normally have a pile of 10 bolts out back. I have seen the lowly 10 bolt break on bone stock cars. The six speed cars are the hardest on them. Bob

Yup what Bob said. I broke mine when I was stock, for about a month or so. Good thing I live 10 min away from EPP at the time.

No way in hell that will hold up to a 6k clutch dump on the sauce. Probably wouldn't even make it through one launch...

Now if you are easing into the clutch @ 300rpm not spraying in first, nor spraying between gears, sure it will hold up, but if you are doing that, why the hell are you at the track?!!?
