It doesn't exactly help out anything in the reliability department. The stock 10 bolt isn't something I'd abuse while away from my garage/trailer/Spare axle.

Goodluck!

rev it up to about 5000rpm (gas pedal and clutch on the floor) then side step the clutch (move your left foot sideways to release clutch instead of pulling it up).

If nothing breaks while doing this, you're good to go!!

um yea dont do that lol

i used to do a G test on my car in an empty parking lot and it turns out that I cracked a seal on the right side which allowed the left axel to move a little bit....

which let the c clip just POP out while i was doing 105mph on I-95 south and leaving me on 3 wheels in the far left lane...

sooo i ran across 4 lanes of I-95 and got my axle and wheel then the cops came and the fire trucks and 3 hours later it was in my drive way

sooo long story short dont do donuts with a stock tired 10 bolt

Anytime you drive your car roughly, you open it up for potential problems down the road. I haven't personally seen a rearend fail from doing donuts, but I did see a IROC with the whole rearend completely ripped out because the kid lost control sending the rear tire into the curb completely tossing the rear axle out of the car.
