How much on the butt dyno with LTs and 4.11s
How much on the butt dyno with LTs and 4.11s I was going to go cam/lts/tune next summer, but am going to most likely just be done with it early and replace the 10 bolt with a MWC fab 9" with 4.11s. Right now I have a catback LM1, lid, and maybe a tune (can't verify if previous owner tuned). How big of a difference will the car feel after being able to fully utilize the car with the way stronger rear and 4.11s as well as headers and ory pipe and dyno tune? This is on a M6 2002 TA with almost 90k miles. I've had the car for 2 weeks almost now and love it. It's so much faster and connected to the road than my 2014 Charger RT stalled with shift kit.
Cool that's basically what I was wondering. If it would be worth it to wait on the cam swap until the 10 bolt is replaced with something stronger. It makes it that much more worth it when I can also pick up some perceived feel in addition to the gains from the LTs. I was going to do 4.10s in the 10 bolt, cam, long tubes, tune, but I don't want to be stranded on the road if the 10 bolt decides to give out.
One of my cars is cam, slp loudmouth, long tubes, lid, 4:11s and mail order tuned cars been that way for 7 years and have never changed it even after driving my other cars it still puts a smile on my face when i drive it its simple and my butt dyno loves it, if i was you i would throw a cam in it too just dont be stupid and your rearend will last mine is still on stock 10 bolt with multiple trips to the track i just dont do no clutch dumps or let it wheel hops.

Verdad Gallardo Yes I shift as fast as I can, and so far so good. I know i'm on borrowed time though lol. Hard launches and wheelhop are the most damaging to the 10 bolt.
I'm thinking about going back to doing cam and long tubes plus motor mounts next summer considering the info in this thread. I will be doing the work myself so am figuring about $1100 for the cam kit, $500 for a tune, $500 for SS long tubes, and another couple hundred between motor mounts and a UD pulley. I guess I wouldn't be far off from a rear end with almost $2k left over.
I baby mine on the launch or dig but after thst its redline shifting now with that said its still a possibility but drag radial/slicks and hard launches/wheel hop seem to be the buggest killer.
My car only had 418 whp with 4.10's in the stock 10-bolt. Seldom went from a dig but lots of from a roll. No lift power shifts etc the rear held up pretty well. Eventually sounded like a jet engine with the gear whine but it didn't break. Hard launch and wheel hop that breaks them most of the time.
With that said I have a friend that's broken half dozen 10-bolts over the years. He broke several on the street. He is all about big sticky tires and the hard launch.
