well being that you have stock 12 bolt and Slicks= BOOM to rear hopefully not. If you wanna launch with your tires (you have good clutch) What i do is run about 10-12 PSI in tires and dump clutch at or around 4,000, Go through water box and do a DECENT BURNOUT, dont be afraid to heat those fu*%s up. You can go 10 PSI but be careful it will get a little squirly on ya. GOOD LUCK DUDE!!!

It should hold for a few launches, I've seen plenty of people do 4500-6000 RPM launches on stock 10 bolts. If you're just looking to run a 12 to say you can, and are willing to rixk blowing the pinion to pieces.... hols it at 4500-5000 rpms and dump the clutch, stab the gas & hold on.

By the way I've seen that net some low 1.70's never tried it over 5 or six times though.

Yeah 10 bolt and et streets with that much power esp. going through a M6...i wish you luck....but like he said i run mine at 10 psi and i just heat em up till they really start to smoke and go....but my buddy with his M6 doesn't hold the revs...when the lights start to drop he just starts to rev the car and snap the clutch....pulls 1.6 60'

i've talked to people who pull 1.60's on their stock rear end time after time. but then again i have heard of people who do it like 2 times and it breaks. ??

I should be launching on ET streets, 150 shot, M6 and every bolt-on around. We will see how long it holds.
