I have the stock axels and differential with the mods as in my sig. I have access to Slicks for the upcoming grudge night on the 12th. What I want to know is will my car be able to handle them or do I need to run my regular tires ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

With the 4.10s I think you should be ok. I run 15x10 11.5 inch ET Streets with 4.10s and a stock clutch and launch around 4000-4200.

I have a few more mods than you do with a T5, 3.55's and ran ET Streets (almost slicks ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ) with no problems...I didnt heat the ET Streets long enough and spun them of the line(1.8 60ft)....I launched at 5,000rpm, and had my fingers crossed, praying that I didnt brake anything ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ..
I think that you will be fine with slicks, especially with a stock torque converter and no trans-brake...You might want to check your U-joints before you go to the track...
Good luck!! ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I don't see the stock convertor in an AOD w/4.10s and slicks being able to snap an axle anywhere near the stock powerlevel.
maybe if it was a chevy 10-bolt.... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Do you have a drive shaft hoop?, They usually want to see one if you run full slicks.

No, I'll just tech it with the street tires and then throw the slicks on it, not a prob to get around that rule, by the way I know the guy that bought your old notch Bounty Hunter, that thing is bad ass ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)
