well i dont think you cant feel any difference with 235 or 255 i think smile.gif

The only thing who will help is proberly some type of slicks..

Get some BFG Comp T/A Drag Radials, they do wonders for you if your going to be doing any street racing or down at the track. Slicks would really only be useful to you at the track i'd think, cause they would really suck on the road if it rained. I was playing around with my drag radials today coming into work, and I could hardly feel any slip on the road when trying to launch around 4000rpms.

I have Nitto DR's on mine. On certain kinds of blacktop I can cut them loose in 2nd gear at 2000 rpms. I can still smoke the things easy if I want to but they are a drastic improvement over regular radial tires.

The BFG Drag Radials rule right now, but I've heard the new Mickey Thompson DRs are the real deal!!! I got two 16 X 8s that need shoes too, any donations out there wacko.gif unsure.gif laugh.gif ?!?!?!!?

Know i have som MT DRAG RADIALS 10.5/26/15

I just wondering if my axel components will hold? ((i dont know the word but i think you know what i mean))

Or something else that will break?

My car is stock and have run 76 000miles...
azthrei

Some 7.5" 10 bolts last longer than others, but with sticky tires after smoky burnouts, the rear-end will break sooner rather than later. You'll hook up good up until then though, so go for it! The weakest part of the 10 bolt is the tiny posi differential, so that's where the troubles would probably start.

Well if the parts start to break.. What does new one cost?
