How long stock 10 bolt will last?
Just got my car back together and wanna run at the track maybe a total of 10 times this year at most...
Got a set of 26x10 et streets a friend said he would let me use. My question is will the stock 10 bolt hold up if I don't heat the tires real good and let it spin out of the hole a little?
3.42 gears, 373 lb tq, 395rwhp
thanks

Depends on how you drive. Slip the clutch a bit and be easy on the shifts and you might be ok for awhile. Any kind of launch or power shift and I'd have a cell phone handy. M6 + ET streets is asking for it. M6 + DRs is a gamble. M6 + street tires will let you drive home.
I wouldn't waste a 10-bolt on purpose...but I'm poor .

Thanks, maybe I will just keep it on street tires and save for a 12bolt. Bad thing is already saving for a new bottom end

Granted mine is an auto but it does hit tires pretty hard. Mine has lasted 2 full seasons. My 60' times are pretty consistantly in the mid 1.5's. My conv is an ATI treemaster 8" and flashes over 5k on launch. With good clutch technique I suspect you should be ok for a few passes. Same motor was in this before the auto went in and I had no trouble with mine even with the higher rpm launches.

Also I definitely think a stock rear has a lot better chance surviving hard launches if you have a stock or stock type clutch. I'm using SLP's, it's a stock disc and the LT4 PP. It grabs much better than stock but it's nowhere near as hard as some of the more serious clutches like the street twin. I would be a lot more worried about the shock the stock rear would take with a clutch like that.

people automatically look at the stock 10blts as weak. this is not so. they can be made to be just as strong as a 12. and if your on a budget like so many of us are, its the smart thing to do.
the situation you are encountering now is the reason i didnt get a M6 car. i know the first thing i would have done is put on some slicks and dumped the clutch at 5k+. the autos arent quite as hard on the rear.
i would get a girdle, good axles and a strong posi, and you should be fine.

I just had my Motive 4.11's put in my M6 TA and had the mechanic also put in a Ratech Solid Pinion Spacer. I also have a Summit Aluminum Support cover and a Zexel Torson Carrier. I run Nitto Drags with the SLP clutch kit. i am still fearful it will break sooner than later, so I am saving up for a 9 inch.

i just installed moser axels, t/a girdle, eaton posi. and 4.11 gears and have et streets .but only have a couple of cold (25*) runs on them. and am installing a pro race fogger next month . im hoping it wil hold up
