I figure it's a lot like putting massively oversized brakes on a car that has crappy tires. The tires can only do so much ...

^^^ on second thought, if you have a manual transmission with a strong enough clutch to hold a ton of HP, then I guess you could pretty easily shatter the stock differential just with drive line shock.

In the case of broken drivetrain components, I still don't think torque from the engine is really that much of an enemy with street tires. It only takes a couple thousand ft-lbs of torque to break street tires loose (1st gear with 250 ft-lbs at the crank). However, with a brisk clutch engagement with a super strong clutch and heavy flywheel, the instantaneous shock to the drivetrain could be many, many times the amount of torque the engine can provide.

the reason why i did work in the rear end is because the stock diferentials on the i.s are good for basic motor work and if i try to launch with them at the track am going to end up in the same spot then again with a set of slicks you need some good diferentials and stronger axles. the transmission am using is a speed tranny with a stage 3 spec clutch i know its kind of noisy but thats wat i need to not have trouble.
