10 bolt and slicks
Im planning on running my 67 GTO at the local dragstrip in a few weeks. My buddy cant make it but offered to drop his wheels and slicks/skinnies for me to use. Assuming they fit, how much power can a factory 10 bolt modestly handle? Mine has about 5k miles on it with 3.36 gears and an Eaton limited slip. I dont know how much power the engine combo in my signature makes but it feels plenty strong enough to break parts if I start pushing it hard.
The slicks are 275/60/15 on 15x8.5 wheels. Theyre off his 70 El Camino so maybe they'll fit but I dont know the backspacing offhand. I don't intend on launching hard, just would like to limit wheelspin since my street tires are getting to the end of their life.
I'm going out there with a handful of friends to do a little racing but have no intentions of pushing my car to the point of breaking; just to have some fun.
