ok some of my buddys with mustangs have been tell me not to go to the track b/c of my weak *** rearend all i have done is under drive pulleys,headers, intake so will it be ok or not ?

 

There is no answer to your question. Some rearends can take a ton of power on slicks and some break with stock power and drag radials.

What tire do you plan on running at the track?

 

On my previous supercharged camaro, I had a stock 10 bolt and ran low 11's all day.Also did alot of street racing.If you have a 6 speed just don't launch off the rev limiter and you should be fine.

 

im going to run street tires for right now and when i get the money i want to get some e/t's and hunter what do you think i should launch at

 

I wouldn't worry too much being close to stock on street tires. All you're going to do is spin off the line.

Assuming you have a six speed, you're going to have to go off the line easy to prevent major tire spin.

 

I think it would be fine, so long as you dont laucnh at 5k plus like was said. I'm pretty sure the real danger of breaking the 10bolt comes with sticky tires/hard launches and more power.

 

so who bought your car ?

 

Wesley... not sure if you know him. He had an 04 Sonic blue GT that was supercharged.

 

Street tire's you are going to have to leave easy or you will spin,but drag radial's you can leve at 2500 or so if the track is good and slick's I am not sure because of the strenght of the 10 bolt. It might last a lifetime or 1 time!!!If you want to have fun , just leave the stock tire's on or drag radial's until you are ready to upgrade the rear.

 

You will be fine, they aren't that weak.

 

I had a cammed, twin turbo'd Firehawk with a 6-speed and it never broke the rear.

That's with borderline abusive street driving. Of course I never launched it at the track with slicks though. It always broke traction on street tires though. I did keep a girdle and stud kit with Royal Purple oil to help out.

 

ten bolts are that weak if you dont use sticky tires and stay a way from riduclously har launches the 10 bolt will last a while

 

ok thanks guys

 

Yeah like the Royal Purple is going to help it stay together.What do's it make the housing and bolt's stronger.The girdle and stud kit yes, the oil will just keep it lubed!!!

 

Yeah, but RP is supposed to resist shock (compared to the factory fill) in the set-up between gears. Every little bit helps... all I'm saying is that I used the best things possible to make it live...

 

I've made 10 passes on mine since I've had it leaving at 3500 with street tires on low pressure and 2500 on drag radials and would you believe I had problems with the tranny before the rear? Don't worry about the 10 bolt until you get into bigger upgrades. 2500 seems to be a good spot with either tire from what I've experienced and read on here

 

cool thanks guys im glad yall didnt think i was a dumb *** for asking that

 

cablebandit ran 9's with a 10bolt... and according to him.. its not traction that breaks them... its the wheel hop(I'm 99% sure that was who said that)

 

I've heard Jerry say that too.

You are correct good sir...

 

that is correct. Only time i broke posis was during the BURNOUT when it would wheelhop.
As long as i started with water on both tires i never broke a posi. I did break an axle trying to do a 1.4 60 with 3850# but had already done MANY 1.5-1.6 60' on those axles.
Autos are easy on the 10 bolt. 6 speed can last if you preload the drivetrain at the line
