M6 SS with Drag Radials Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Who has been using drag radials on their M6 SS without upgrading the axles and driveshaft? What is your RWHP/TQ?

I feel I have gotten my wheel hop issue fixed so I was wondering how many people we have out here running drag radials with zero problems using the stock drivetrain.

I broke drive shaft bolts on the street with 20" drag radials. I have 423 rwhp. Since getting that fixed I have upgraded my axles and will upgrade the drive shaft at some point in the next year.

I wonder if the driveshaft bolts broke due to binding from the deflection of he rear differential?

I don't know what caused it but so far I have only heard of 1 other car having that issue. I drive my car like I stole it so to feel comfortable I plan on changing the drive shaft. Once I get sub frame and diff bushings it shouldn't deflect but I figure I'll change the DS too.
