Not unless you are running very stickey tires. The stockers or any thing short of a very very sticky drag raidal (like the MTs) will be fine

it just takes practice. i hae a friend who launched at 4500 with just a chirp on some dr's, i on the other hand spin launching at 3000. what tires are you running?

Yea man I just ran my first at the track with a 14.2 @ 97.24 I cant hook for ****. I'm heading back out there with some Nitto 555R's soon as possible. Ive seen guys with DR's launch anywhere from 3k-4500 with stock axle and had no problems.

That is risky though, ive seen a stock axle break on the 3rd launch with DRs.

Yea I mean it happens I know it does, but from what I've been experiencing personally, the stock axle should be good unless you have really badass tires like full slicks or somethin. Simple drag radials like the DOT-approved Nitto 555R's, as one kid had on his stang last night, hook great and didnt mess with his axle a bit. Also obviously you'll **** the axle if you have serious power, but with just bolt-ons and nothing serious, you should be good.

He had an intake/exhaust '03 Mustang GT w/ 555Rs.
