On #3, (he has an M6, Matt) if you have enough tire and enough track, you can certainly hook....but then the days of your stock rearend are few. If you wanna launch hard then start saving $$$ for a better rearend.

I had that exact setup - a C1 with 4.10's in the stock rear on Nittos.
The noises that would come out of that rear when launching hard would make me pale.
I had a few "Sonic Booms" come out of there after a decent hook, and also had tons of grinding noises under hard acceleration in 1st or 2nd gear.
The strong low end of a T1 or C1 plus 4.10's in a 10 bolt = tow truck.
My rear never grenaded 'cause I switched to a peakier cam, but I'm sure a C1 with my current 9" would be loads of fun for around town bursts.

I have the C1 cam and 4.10's. They go real well together. I don't have traction problems cause i'm up here at 7000 ft, but I probably will when I go back to Texas in a few weeks. It tries to die on cold starts, but I'm in the process of editing that out right now. Idle's a little lopey but not bad at all, in fact i lowered the idle to 600 rpm today and it runs fine.
