replace rearend even with just a 100 dry shot?
replace rearend even with just a 100 dry shot? Lets say i never go above 100hp dry shot, and only use nitrous once in a while, like less then once a month, would my stock rearend still blow on me? i only have 30,000 miles on my car.
If your running street tires I wouldnt worry about it. If you start using slicks...you may want to consider it. If money is no object...go for it regardless. A nice 12 bolt gives great piece of mind.
I ran my stock rear all tha way to 10.3 at 135 mph with 1.55 sixty foots. But that is the exception and not the norm. And I wouldnt recomend trying that.

would nittos be consider slicks cause i was going to get them as my next tire? right now have a contiental contiextreme contacts, shitty tires.
Even on nittos I wouldnt worry too much. But again...if you have the funds...a 12 bolt is always a nice thing to have. It allows you to throw on a set of ET streets and head to the track if you want to have some real fun.

Nitrous seemed the biggest bang for my buck, thats why i went with it. Thanks guys for the info. 
You don't replace your rearend becasue of nitrous, you replace it because it broke.
I keep an extra set of 3.73's hanging around, very cheap insurance. The way I figure it is that if I blow my stock gears, I can have the 3.73's in the car in less than a day, then I'll order the 8.8", 9" or 12 bolt.I'm still undecided on what my next rear is gonna be. But with the big shot and the spec it's coming

I broke the stock 10 bolt the first time I went to the track with the stock F1's. They fixed it under warranty. I went back with Drag radials and broke it again. They fixed it again and told me next time it wouldnt be covered. This was before any real mods. I finally got a 12 bolt. The question with the stock 10 bolt is not if your going to break, its when.
