To answer the question...
...if your motor is stock and you aren't making a whole lot of extra power, drag radials will probably shorten your rear end's life... but it'll hold up for a while.Former Ride: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 - 345 rwhp, 360 rwtq... stock internally.

Depends to some extent whether you are running the A4 or M6 (you might want to include that info in your "signature"). The A4 generally subjects the rear to less shock. A 5K clutch dump on an M6 with drag radials or slicks might be more of a problem. The LS1 and LT1 rears are both the same weak 7.5/7.625" 10-bolt.Fred

I would suggest that if you plan on using anything but a regular radial, you add a rear differential girdle. It is a beefy cover that includes studs for the main caps as well as two preload studs to help keep the bearing caps from walking. As suggested, I wouldn't try high rpm clutch drops
, but the girdle will help the differential live a little longer.
