verrrrrrry low...you will most likely bog but to me its worth the price of a 12 bolt. maybe 2000 or 3000 if you are feeling real brave/lucky. the worst part about this method is the 1-2 shift because you know you are going to rip that shifter back harder than ever before lol

i just saw your sig...your 3.73's might take a tad bit more than the 4.10s but i wouldnt push your luck...also which are you running? the kdws or the et streets? i can tell you from experience that the kdws will be a little better on the life of the 10 bolt because for me personally they gave just a tad bit of slip (maybe a rotation) and then a tad bit in second so it relieves the rear end of a little bit of the shock. the et streets on the other hand just hooked like a bitch and showed no mercy to the rear

I dumped mine at 3500-4000 with nittos and bogged. Stock rear is holding up good, 77K miles.

you will do fine with those tires, for maybe 2 passes, then just say goodbye to your 10-bolt. from what ive seen/heard/read, those tires will destroy the 10-bolt if your not careful. awesome tire, crappy rear, thats all it is. goodluck with whatever you decide to do though.

thanx.i thought slicks were hard on the rear.i thought et streets would be ok,i guess not.right now i have kdw's but i was thinking about getting the et streets.i guess i will hold off til i get a 12 bolt.i have ran my kdws at the track at 40lbs and it hopped like like ****.then i lowered my tire pressure to like 12lbs and it hooks up fine.so i keep doin whats working till i get money for a 12 bolt after the heads.or break something

even though its working be careful because if you dont have the money for the rear when the rear goes your out of a car until you do get enough money for the rear. then you can get slicks and really have some fun
