my car is a daily driver and it's n/a. i just got the engine rebuilt and it's .020 over with high compression pistons and p&p heads with xe270 cams. i'm hoping for the 310 rwhp range. i've seen as high as 320 with the exact same setup (with a little less compression).
well my question is how much can the stock rear end take? i have 3.73 and i go to the track once a month or so, and i do not plan on getting slicks, but i'm thinking about drag radials. i do have upper and lower control arms. will the stock rear end handle about 310 rwhp on a full weight gt with 15 inch drag radials? i'm not worried about 17 inch drag radials, the rear end should be able to handle that no problem.
also how big of a difference is there between 17 inch drag radials and 15 inch drag radials?
thanks
