So youre making enough power to break the 10 bolt on street tires? What kind of gears are in it?

I'm just giving you the heads up man...that 10 bolt will probably take a couple good launches as in on a sticky tire, expecially since you have an automatic. As proof to my story...Ron, AKA the Hammer of Thor, has cut pretty disgusting 60' s with a stick shift car through a 10 bolt on sticky tires, a few times.

Also, instead of a moser rear, a cheaper option would be to comb the junkyards or talk to people on the internet about getting hold of a GN rear. 8.5" 10-bolt that will hold a lot more power than what youre making.
