I guess there is the 2% possibility everything holds and the fronts come off the ground.
There are always risks involved. Shawn and Jordon also had stock clutches. I don't believe either one of them had problems with their 10-bolts... not saying you won't, but 3.42 gears are far stronger than 4.10's.
The only times they could pull of launches like this is if the track was prepped. Most of the time on a Friday street night it wasn't.

I'm thinking about just sticking with the 3.42s for now. Would save me some decent coin.
