T-56 can take alot, have seen 650 horse cars no problem but the clutch high perf. Stock 10 bolts are weak, especialy in a t-56 car you can rip 'em up stock if you run alot.

sk,
I think that the consensus is that as soon as you bolt some slicks or Drag Radials under your man shift car, you should get ready for a Moser...even with a stock engine. It may last for a few months if you don't beat on it too hard, but what fun would that be?

Mine held up fine in my automatic car running mid 12s. As soon as I put N2O on it...I popped it. I got one full pass, 11.56 w/ only a 1.71 60'. The next pass I did a Big burnout, the car barely moved a car length before it let go.

My recommendation? I'd buy a rear from Moser and get some slicks on the way at the same time!
Take Care,
Kevin

A 12 bolt is a good investment if you want reliability <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Some people have been lucky and some not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
I got 60 NA runs and 8 Nitrous runs with no problems,but for piece of mind I installed a 12 bolt <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
