Well its track season again here. I have a set of DRs available for me to use once I go, but my question is with my completely stock rear (3.27s,axles,ect.) do I run the risk of snapping something or something along those lines?

 

[AndrewA.]

My rear end is all stock and i have DR's. only been to the track with them once and i kept it to about 2500rpms just because of what ppl have said about dr's breaking the stock rear.

just don't launch like a bat out of hell and you should be fine.

i left at 4k-4500 on stock rear end... dead hooking at 4 and spinning a tad anything over 4... but i have seen some break at 2500 and some take rev limit launches like champs....

 

[HessiaN257]

I wasn't planning on launching very high with them in the first place. I was thinking somewhere around 2500-3000 just to get a good hook.

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

I launch above 4000 on slicks and just 4.10s no harm yet.... key word yet.

 

[prodrifterx]

hmm.. thining of doing the same...getting hoosier slicks for cheap tho....launching at 3K and rolling out of the hole sorta at half throttle till im going, then full throttle punch.

i launch my girlfriends vortech gt with a stock rear and 4.10's at about 5500 and haven't had any problems and it has 88k on it

dead hooking is what kills an axle. you wanna keep the rpms high so you get slight spin (2-3 turns of the tire) then hook. that'll get ya the best et and won't risk breakage.

4.10s and a centrifugal blower is win.

 

[HessiaN257]

Good to hear guys, I can't wait to see what I am gonna run. Thanks for the input.

 

[crumbie50]

If you're really worried about breaking axles, just pick up a set of mosers from summit for 230+ bucks and throw them in. It's a really easy install and will give ya some piece of mind.

 

[drazga97]

not to jack your thread but what psi should be run on the street and track for drag radials?

 

[crumbie50]

25 psi on the street. start with 15 psi at the strip and work up/down from there.

 

[drazga97]

thats what i thought..... how low is too low?

 

[crumbie50]

i'd say 12 would be the lowest for a drag radial tire. just make some passes and keep adjusting the pressure until you find what works best with your car.
