You'll be good for way more than 4K launches. Those are supposed to hook just like a slick. I think you'll be fine around 5-5500. The new rear end should hold up. Dude...You're gonna be low 11's coming out like that.
The old style ET-Streets did hook like a slick. You may be in luck!

RE: E.T. Street
maybe [&:] their on back-order until the 1st of the year 
SHould have em in a couple weeks. Yea I went to the track, couldnt get any traction. 2 runs a 12.12 and a 12.18 with a 1.91 and a 1.95 60' , can't explain it ever since my 3rd run last time out I can't hook. Both tires are spinnin on the burnout but for some reason coming out of the box the tires never grab the car hard like they usually do - and normally on a BAD launch I'm a high 1.8 60' - but those were descent launches but the car just doesnt get going. It feels like just 1 wheel going but both smoked on the burnout. Had a bad headwind, like 10 - 15 mph but I still trapped at 118+ mph both runs ... the air was good traction wasnt. BTW - launching at 2300

Why don't you just quit screwing around and get a set of ET Drags? Quit being a ***** and just change them when you get to the track. Or get some ***** and just drive them to the track...I've done it.

RE: E.T. Street
I dont have a problem driving them to the track, its just that I need new street tires now so I already have to spend $350 on tires (no matter what I get) and then for ET drags thats another $350 + rims ($80 for v6 rims). I'd get the et drags if I wasnt afraid they'd only last 1k street miles and heat up bad on the highway
