      i would make a safe guess to say that you should be ok with those. But if you move up to any other mods in the future such as forced induction or spray i would kiss your rear good bye. Thats on a note that most us who mod our cars are never done modding. Also assuming your running the factory 2.73 gears i doubt youll be going anywhere with those radials. I would suggest a uprade to some 3.73's for now if your strapped for cash. If your not then pick up a 12 bolt and dont even worry about it.Another good investment would be a TA girdle and stud kit. Overall I think with your mods now with a girdle and stud kit you would be ok on a 10 bolt.

      But then again its hard to say. I blew mine out only 33,000 miles into with only half the mods you got. Good luck whatever you do.

        I wouldn't go with anything stickier than a drag radial.

          i actually have the 3.23 rear so i probably wont do gears but just save for the 12 bolt and these are drag radials but the stickiest ones out. Also anyone know where the best deal online for these tires would be?

              agreed! I would also try looking on some other fourms you might be able to pick up a nice set of radials cheap from someone

                Any of you guys use the BF Goodrich G-force TA drag radials. I'm getting ready to buy a set and I am leaning towards these. I'm gonna mount them on my factory 16's.

                Are they good tires?

                      from what i have heard they are slightly stickier then the nittos but wear twice as fast and not even close to the mickey thompson's on grip

                          Any updates on these tires. I need to get a set in the next month or so and am deciding between these three, the Nittos, BFG's, or MT Drag Radials.

                          Any opinions???

                          Wolfman??? You are our tire GURU, right? What do you think of these three?

                          Anyone else?
