Et Streets Or Nittos??
I have a 10 bolt, and was gonna run Nitto Drags, but would have to buy everything. My friend said I could borrow his draglites with ET Streets. I was wondering, will my rearend hold??. I have a 6 speed by the way and probably launch around 3-3500. Thanks guys.

You'd be on borrowed time with that set-up. I blew my 10-bolt with 16" BFG's, T/A girdle (w/ stud kit), spec 3, and launching at what you're planning to launch at. It also destroyed my stock aluminum drive shaft, all while at the track (fun times!). I would say stick with the nittos since they tend to spin a little which will make your 10-bolt last a little longer. If you were to get any decent traction while launching with those ET streets, there's a very good chance you're going to take your car home on a flat bed.

Well this is just for one or two passes. Not a big track guy. But I am going to be in the SA shootout, and dont really want to waste money on draglites and tires.

If it's just for a couple of runs, I say go for it. Don't expect to run at your potential though. You're going to have to baby the launch, slip the clutch a little. I'd do it if I were in your shoes, just go easy on her and you shouldn't break anything. Good luck at the shootout. Represent the RGV!

Don't forget, unless your friend's draglites are 16's, the 15's won't fit, and you'll have to grind down your rear calipers to fit the damn wheels on. Not to mention you may need spacers. Stick with nittos unless you just don't care.
