The 8.8 is a stout rear, you aren't going to break any axles with DR's. Hell, I had over 100 1.6 60's on my completely stock 8.8 with over 110k on it. When I did my rebuild I pulled the axles to make sure they were OK and they looked brand new. Get some DR's and have some fun.

Chris was pretty close on stock 1/4 times. My '99 T/A went 13.5 @ 102 all day long with just a catback. Weighed 3550lbs, and runnin on 245/50/16 GSC's (crappy short times). The 2002's had a bit more balls, so I'd expect 13.2-13.4 @ 103-105mph most likely thru an automatic.

you are talking of 7k using the stock tach then it is almost always WAY off.

Plus a few shots at 7k and I would love to see your valvesprings!

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

well i dont know how to explain it ... but i have witnesses and ive done it at least 4 or 5 times when i first got the car .. havnt missed a gear in quite some time now though. but the real point of the story is my 5.0 keeping up with a badass car, good death by me, considering it's a $3,000 car with about $700 in performance parts.

Like I said, I'm not trying to make an excuse, but I didn't launch for shit when we came out of the hole. I totally bogged the hell out of it but that doesn't happen very often. I think you might be surprised.
