what is the stickiest tire one can run without blowing your rear? on a stock rear end...97 Z28 to be specific...6 speed?
i know slicks would destroy it...do i need to beef anything up to run drag radials? or should i be fine?

Tough question to answer. I have seen people running, Mickey Thompson ET Street on a stock 10-bolt, But I seen people blow their rears on the factory supplied F1's If you want to play you need to be prepared to pay

6 speeds are notorious for tearing up 10 bolts due to the shock load.
My brother tore up 13 rear ends on his 96 T/A bolt on 6 speed car with street tires.
It is now a Heads/Cam/Stalled/Auto with 315/35/17 BFG KD's out back and the Auto seems a lot more forgiving.

auto's seem to hold up better than 6-spds. I've seen some autos with a 4200 stall, et streets, pull the front wheels on a stock 10 bolt. then again i've seen people break their rear end pulling outta the local dairy queen....it all depends.

i guess it depends, i took a set of new et streets and spun them till 3rd gear a few weeks ago. That was a 5500 drop. And before that i was praticing on them for about 4 days in a row. Still no look. So I guess it all depends.
