any tips on keeping my 7.5 together at the track tonight?!?!

well thinking about getting to the track this weekend and was wondering if i could do anything to help keep it in 1 piece?

i think i have around 340-355 rwhp richmond gears and a ta cover. will be on street tires, but at a VERY prepped track. easy outta the hole or is there anything i can do to keep it alive?

Street tires or DRs??

Either way, if you want to be easy on the diff., brake-stall it at the line ..... basically, hold the brakes with your left, and bring the revs up to ~1500 (seeing as you have a stall converter) so that way, the entire drivetrain is "pre-loaded" and there's no sudden shock on it ..... that's what kills 10-bolts is sudden shock/load. You should be fine to pretty much hammer it off the line (as long as you can get traction) and as long as you brake-stall it first .

Have fun and good luck!
