many people with auto's go 10's on the 10 bolt. They do OK on auto's unlike sticks. use a et street instead of a "radial" cause they soften the hit to the tire. Many vette guys use et street instead od et street radials to keep the half shafts in one piece.
Steel wheels are heavy. the new street star from jegs is heavier than prostars but use the acorn nuts and will fit over the stock brakes

Good info, Thanks!! Hey do you have a link.. Just looked at jegs and all I can find is 15x4...

bad ass I am seriously going to look into those jegs rims if they fit without grinding. My buddys vette cut 1.55 60's on 305 18" mickey thompson drag radials but he has harnened input shafts and a 3600 stall stock suspension though.

Looking good. I thought u already had the cutouts on like a week ago?

Nope ordered them a week ago.. He was supposed to make them today and ship overnight on Monday..

ok after more checking it appears they fit without grinding with worn brake pads. They require minor grinding with new pads but very minor compared to prostars.
I can't find them listed though

nah it'd be a complete waste better to use that towards a 12 bolt or 9". Personally I've heard of people breaking them from 2nd to 3rd as well with that kinda power, but thats pretty rare.

Waste? What would be a waste is breaking your only rear end and having to park the car until you fix that one or save to buy a 9-inch. If you buy an extra for even $400 and don't end up using it, sell it for for $375 and you just paid cheap insurance.

You think Larry can wait till the end of next year to unlock 1st and see if it pops? I bet not.

Yeah, it's going to be tough!!

GM MUSCLE went 10.00's for a long time with a 10 bolt

oops my bad I thought he had a six speed, in that case what converter are you running behind the juice? You'll be fine on the rear if you lock out first I bet althought mine has made some nasty noises before launching it hard but never anything after that.

I've got a 3200 stall in mine,,

that usually happens on sticks, not autos. mine would probably be more likely to break with 300rwhp (at most), just because my clutch's forgiveness factor is very little. as you know im chirping 4th, so hitting 2nd is quite the grunt. I have to be very careful doing the 1-2 on my DRs because i think if i hit that one hard it would be the last of it.

larry should be safe if he is not spraying off the line. ... 6 speeds on the other hand, you arent safe to run sticky tires with a stock motor. (stock LS1 clutches will let a rear surive under abuse, but just about nothing else)

what kind of converter is it and what STR? Usually you want a converter with an anti-balooning plate once you go up past a 150 shot. Its gonna hit hard on the juice though.

Looking good larry!!! Cant wait to see it in person too! Maybe at the track too!

It's a 3200 Vigilante.. What is STR?

[1BADAIR]

stall torque ratio
basically if your convertor has a 2.0 str and your engine makes 200ft lb tq at a given rpm 400 ftlb will be seen at the transmission
