LOL its just talk man. There is no need to get all angry over things like this. its just talk. i was just saying cause with the power he has it should be able to get a high 11 on street tires with a good launch.


So anyways who's all going to be running at the track this year??

 

Ya maybe at another track. But pir unlikely. Anywho i wont be making it out till july probly, im on a weird 3 month on 1 month off scheduale

 

It's not a wise idea to run street tires at the track with a 6 speed and some decent power. I tried like hell to run 11's on street tires and I will just say it is very dangerous. A 400 + rwhp m6 will spin the tires through 3rd gear. 4.11's and a 10 bolt with a sticky tire = bye bye 10 bolt. A 6 speed car needs a good bias ply drag slick to have a good launch, unless you have a ton of drag orientied suspension mods.

 

Well yeah the 10 bolt is a gamble, but can be done I wouldn't try it unless I had a trailer.

 

Yeah its all on the driver and how skilled he is. Ive drove a 480 wheel gto at the track on street tires and i didnt have any issues.

 

The 10 bolt is alot stronger than people give it credit for. I slip the clutch out instead of dumping it

 

Ummmm,,, NO!

Not quite the same. The GTO's have independent rear suspension, so the rear end plants evenly. A live axle will unload the right rear tire because the axle wants to twist with the driveshaft.

Mike

 

Yeah but that gto also had stock baldish tires on the rear.

 

Yeah I broke two 10 bolt's before I got the 9" and the first time was under bolt on power. I don't really think a taller gear would help my car, I think it is more so I need a taller tire with more sidewall to flex and also another 2" on each side would help. Right now I am only running a 26" slick with an 8.5" contact patch.

 

Mike i beg to differ. I have over 20 4k to 4.5k launches on my 10 bolt and it still kickin. That was on drs by the way

 

Joe I broke mine on the street with basic bolt ons.

 

Ok i guess i have a super 10 bolt then. Cuz i have bolt ons and head and cam and drs and i launch the **** out of mine. It dead hooks at 4k but at 4.5k he tires were spinning pretty bad. But i did that in colder weather. Im pretty sure its cuz i release tye clutch instead of just sliding my foot off

 

It could be, first time mine broke I hit 2nd gear hard on the street with two friends in the car and boom!

 

Yeah I dump mine at 4k also and I have 177k on my car..lol.. Hey Joe I think we have some super strong rearends..lol... But I still won't trust it. Just a bomb waiting to go off!!

 

I've got multiple 6 grand clutch dumps while spraying 150 shots and mine is fresh

 

You guys (with super 10 bolts) are running stock gears so I think that helps ya a bit

 

Lol. Ya im sure it helps.
