L99 Camaro on slicks
Would it be safe to run a set of slicks on an L99 Camaro with stock axles?... or would it be better to run drag radials? I put in a 1 piece carbon fiber driveshaft and have 3.91 gears also. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

How modded are you?
I raced on DRs for a while, but once I threw on slicks I broke my spider gears on the 3rd pass. But I also cut a 1.47 short time and went 10's.

Random, since you have the Eaton, that's good. Slicks are actually easier on the driveline than drag radials.

Yes. But I think anyone who drag races a lot on stock axles should buy a back up pair. I see them cheap all the time, like $100-200 for the pair.

Yep, I sold both of mine for $100 shipped a while ago since I have the 1000hp DSS axles...

Sure have a back up set I have a backup diff also that been setting in my shop for 5 years. But I see no reason to spend money on part that not needed for the HP. I average 100 passes a year maybe more. And try to rip the guts out of it on ever pass. Not saying they wont break but I have put them to the test. They are still holding up.
