Yes but alot of your argument starts with, a drag radial will break a half shaft EVERYTIME, and a slick is fine to run. Granted it MAY yield a less break average but what I'm saying is a slick is by NO MEANS "safe zone" for running an IRS at the track the chance of breaking a half shaft is still high. Internet research is good to a point but has its flaws, yes cars ran on the slicks and made it, but in alot of instances I bet alot of those same people broke on different times at the track which you might not read about on net. The two big issues at hand I see, is 1. Is it gonna break. 2. If it doesn't brake are you running to much tire for a 3.55 geared bolt on 2v. As far as not hooking till 3rd gear, with a 3.55 geared rear end and roughly 260-270rwhp if your spinning that bad even on the street that cannot attest to well to the traction ability of the irs or driver ability to control wheel spin through pedaling, either way somethings up. Unless your dumping the clutch out at 5 grand and just pegging the gas. I just feel like you have alot to learn about the strip young grasshopper. (once again please don't take offense)

I'm not talking about my car...Talking about Ian's whippled cobra making over 600rwhp on street tires. And when I'm running the 28's, it will be with 4.10's or 4.30's, not 3.55's. Running that much tire with 3.55's is just plain stupid! lol Unless youre running high hp and/or a turbo or 2. I rather like accelerating at more than a snail's pace!

Typically also, the damage to the half shafts is not done by the slick itself. The damage is already done by running street tires and crappy rubber or poly bushings and having the car hop like a bunny rabbit.

DSS just needs to man up and make a half shaft with U-jointed half shafts. CV joints just suck.
