With all the broken 10 bolts lying around you think you can seriously justify your statement?!?
You've had good luck with yours and ride the clutch to save it because you know it would shatter. I know people who have shattered their 12 bolt with an auto. Go ahead laugh at that and tell me your friends car has a 10 bolt too.

So yeah I can talk, I dont know it will shatter. I have dropped the clutch coming out of the hole, it doesnt work for me, thats why I dont do it. Why shouldnt I be able to talk, I have the power and it still aint broke.
All I know is everyone always talks down the 10bolts, yet I can rattle off 5 that have over 550tq to the wheels that are local and havent still havent had them replaced.

Dumped the clutch once did ya?!? Wow. Get any traction with that dump? dead hook did ya? Thats why your riding the clutch because you dont have any traction.
For those of us who want to dead hook, chances are its gonna break. Like I said you've had good luck because of the way your driving it.
If you believe in the 10 bolt so much lets see you drop the clutch with slicks on consistently. Thats what the upgrade is for. Consistently abusing it.
I dont know, you laugh at people who have broken their 10 bolt and say you know better because you slip the **** out of your clutch and have had 2 1.6 60's and avg 1.8 out of the hole. No I dont think you should be talking praise for your 10 bolt when you drive to protect it.
Might have sat better with me if you didnt just come out and laugh at all who have had a bad experience with the stock rear. Just because yours and your friends are holding up to your style of driving doesnt mean that you have the absolute knowledge of the breaking point of the stock rear.
Honestly it seems to me that you know it would break, thats why you slip. Traction ( or the shock it causes) is the breaker not the HP.

If I slip the clutch and get the exact or better 60ft, does it matter? Are we not trying to achieve the same goal? What would be the point of me dumping the clutch if I dont have to? You can it protecting the rear, say what you want, its still holding. I'm not one of those guys that scream how they blew the 10bolt with bolt-ons.
People ask if the 10bolt can hold up, yes it can obviously if you want it to. I dont have the absolute knowledge of when its going to let loose, but I guess you do, and every other person does that just so happens to post on this site.
Why are you talking to me about HP? I havent said anything about that, I brought up tq, TQ and traction break rears not HP.

I daily drove drag radials and im pretty sure I broke it when I was at the track cutting a 2.2 60' lol. It wasent making good noises when I put the car in gear after that. Some peoples **** lasts and some dosent. its all luck.
Mine broke stock with nittos and my friends is still holding up with an H/C 3500 stalled car on M/T's. some might last a few months some last a few years but they will all break sooner or later

So yeah I can talk, I dont know it will shatter. I have dropped the clutch coming out of the hole, it doesnt work for me, thats why I dont do it. Why shouldnt I be able to talk, I have the power and it still aint broke.
All I know is everyone always talks down the 10bolts, yet I can rattle off 5 that have over 550tq to the wheels that are local and havent still havent had them replaced.

But just because yours is still alive... that doesn't mean that the thousands of other f-body owners are going to have the same luck. So when someone asks, can my 10 bolt handle 450hp on a dead hook - should we tell him 'yes certainly!' because 1/5 fbody owners did ok with their 10 bolt?? Or be honest with the kid and tell him 'maybe' but perhaps he should start thinking about putting money aside for a 12 bolt?
I just like to be honest with people. As I drove home from the track behind the tow-truck that was flatbedding my Z28, I started thinking, yeah maybe I should have bought a 12 bolt so I wouldn't be dropping $110 to tow it back to the house.
PS: Besides what is the fun of making 550hp and cutting 1.7 60s? I did that with 390hp. I don't know about you but I want to get every last tenth out of my car, and that means I'm going to leave the line pretty hard.

Like I said earlier, I didn't want to believe it either. But my 10-bolt is on its way out, and the best my car has ever put down on the rollers is 340/356. The ring and pinion are fine, but the posi is not having it. Never a sticky tire, never more than a 2.1 60' at the two whole times I've ever been to a track.

mine blew on the street on the 1-2 shift, EVERYONE locally has blown their 10 bolt. it is proven to be a ticking time bomb with sticky tires and bolt ons although i have seen some 1.6 60fts on them before but that was with an auto. basically if u have a 6 spd car, its gonna blow if your rough on it

well mine has many passes on it, plenty on the spray. I inspect the rear and have changed the fluid many times. After drag week I didnt have one metal shaving when I changed the fluid AGAIN.
Ticking time bomb? Sure, why not. I used to think mine was going to go when my car was stock. Its still standing and holding on. When it breaks I'll post up about it.
You guys act like I have never dumped the clutch off the line in my life, 10bolt still holding.
For alll of the umpteen million that broke a 10bolt "leaving stoplights turning a corner pulling into the garage or just plain parking " I'm sorry that yours went out. Everyone seems to have a "MY 10BOLT WENT OUT" super story.
