I was wondering?
I was planning on getting a head/cam package for my '00 T/A.I already have some bolt on's such as lid,Lt's,ORY,Borla catback,Hotchkis LCA's and KB DD SFC's. Would it be a waste to get the head/cam combo because the rear will blow in no time? I was thinking about the hardend moser 10 bolt axels and a alum. girdle. Do you guys think with those upgrades it could make my rear last. I only plan on taking it to the track a few times. It would either be on regular radials or maybe DR's. And if I used the Dr's I would launch it at a very low rpm.
Or should I forgo the heads and buy a 12 bolt and slicks instead?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks

 

If you are only going to take it to the track a few times, and even then launch easy, just stick with the 10 bolt. New axles would be a waist of money IMO, the gears usually break. You can do the girdle, that will help stiffin things up and make the gears last longer.

It will probably eventually break if you are hard on it, but if like you say you will only race it a few times, and take it easy off the line, I think the 10 bolt will hold up to that.

 

I got a 11.89, a 12.09, and a fist full of low 12 second timeslips out of my car before the spider gears broke. Never did launch it hard, best 60ft was a 2.09.
