Street racing or drag strip (including drag radials)?

I heard that if you use stree tires (because of crappy traction) your axels will handle a bit more (less, actually.. see what i mean?) as drag radials will just grip and then axels go boom...

To be honest i would get the axels anyway, because im sure youll be planning on doing more than just that with your horsepower...

NOW i would also say that i dont think it would be required.. and the first time you use drag tires your axels arent going to break.. but it will just be precaution...

Street tires you will be fine depending on how the track is prepped(this is if you go to the track)

There is a downfall to everything, now if you upgrade to Stage 2 Axles then you run the risk of letting the tranny go

Stay away from wheel hop and and treat the car nice and you should be fine, but your playing on borrowed time after certain power levels.
