Drag Radials

How likely am I to blow out my stock rear end if I put on some 275/35/18 BFG Drag Radials on my rims??

Depends alot on how you drive it. If you do hard, high rpm launches regularly your rear wont last long.

My stock rear end is still together and I have M/T Et Streets now. My car is also an auto which aren't as hard on the rear end as manuals.

Well if you are gonna dump the clutch at 3000 grand regularly, then I would probably advise you to start saving your money for a 12-bolt or 9inch.

Well see, that's what I've been wondering. Where could I find a 9 in. or 12 bolt rear end? Out of what cars? Or does anyone sell them new for Camaros?
