Default you think i'll snap my axles?

Ok, there's a test and tune around 2 hours from my house...and i'm going.

I'm running a bolt on ITR engine, in a 98 hatch.

i'll either be running with some 22/8/15 slicks or some 205/50/15 DR's....

well, i'll be dumping at whatever they take to hook and not bog. but I am getting the car tuesday, and don't have spare axles yet......

you think I should just stick with some street tires for now? till i get my gators?

youll be fine , the slciks prob wont hook enuff to break anything.
just bring the revs to atleast 5k if not more and you wont break anything.

It really depends on your clutch. If you have a very harsh clutch then you are very likely to break one, but if you have a full face disk then you should be alright. It's the shock that breaks stuff...

Some might be suprised what stock axles will hold, some have good luck with them. It is better of course to upgrade, for less worries of course.

you might brake them. you might not just bring the revs high enough to watch for the wheelhop and youll be fine. oh yeah watch the wheelhop in the burnout too
