Maybe a few runs, i ran 6 times on slicks with stock 88 axles, but dont count on it being able to handle the abuse over and over.

Most people will tell you that you can't but, then again, most people don't know what they're talking about. I plan on slicks with my stock axles...

I'm sure that if you're feathering the clutch out of the hole you'll be fine, it's the sudden burst of power than snaps them.
