I just don't see a beating like you guys are saying. The op has alot of mods to to get those 4.10s to the ground. We all know he has a 13.0 car with just the Tune and intake. Add up the rest of his mods and I say he is moving out pretty good, especially from a dig. Stall or not, I say the OP will take him off the line. Unless they are racing past a full 1/4 mile, it's going to be closer than you guys think. This is just my opinion and in no way am I saying the WS6 is not a fast caror will lose, I just think it'll be a good, close race. Stalls are pointless without DRs,so all that mod is going to do is cause the T/A to spin his *** off and lose, if he tries to use it.

Who puts a stall in their car and doesn't put any type of sticky tire on it?[&:]That is really counterproductive. I have a stock stall (and gears) and I still need drag radialsto keep from screeching loudly and slowly from the line.

I agree about the DR's, but if the WS6 has them (and it's just dumb for it not to) the Stang is toast. Why do I say this? Because I know first hand what a bolt on/stalled LS1 wil do. The Stang in question is not a low 12 car, the WS6 is (with traction of course)

Oftentimes tires are not listed in mod lists because the mods that arelisted would seem to suggest that sticky tires are just a given. No one is going to install gears, a stall, engine work, etc. and then put Sumitomos on the back wheels.
BTW with my gear ratio I don't think I could break my rear diff on the motor even if I tried via a stall, stickier tiresand suspension work. Even on the bottle I think it could hold up, especially if I installed a TA cover with the preload bolts. I've seen 3.23 rears hold up to many 1.5 60 ft launches courtesy of a stall and a bottle.

RE: '00ish WS6 vs. My S197
Yea, but I have shatty luck[8D]
Seriously, I was having some bearing issues, etc. I never actually broke/cracked anything or chipped gears. I too have seen some serious 60' times on the stock rear, but the amount of problems I was having with the trans (replaced twice) and the rear diff stuff, I was just trying to play it safe.
I know what your saying though, and agree. They can hold up,Iwas just getting a little paranoid with the troubles I was having.
