Re: Drag Slicks thoose two parts are going to take the worst beating of their life from slicks!!!! LUCKILY the clutch will go first and thats cheaper to change but i SERIOUSLY advise you to change out your clutch to something of the likes of a Ram,Cartek,Star stage IV,Mcleod...just something with more bite if you plan on running slicks(i have a ram 402/6130 combo and love it) once you do that all the strain will then be on the stock crappy 10 bolt which will break eventually....so in that aspect i would get something the likes of a 12 bolt or 9"....whenever i get enough money saved up i'll be getting a Moser 12 bolt <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Drag Slicks unfortunatly not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> if you throw money into yer 10 bolt its just going to be a waste of money IMO.....i have found out that this is a VERY expensive hobby lol and its not a very good one for a 20 year old college student! but hey its still fun! i promise you if you can get the cash together for a 12 bolt or 9" you wont regret it!
