240 rear end strength? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Got myself a set of Mickey Thompson ET streets for the drag strip and have found myself wondering if this might cause too much strain for the rear end? Last thing I want to do is break something at the tree or maybe at the 1-2 upshift. Wanted to get some feedback from guys running slicks on their 240's and maybe some tips to keep things in one piece back there. Figured if I can get just a little wheelspin off them and slip the clutch, I should be ok?
