What clutch are you running? If it's stock...you'll be fine for a while, if it's an aftermarket that grabs, well your **** outta luck because the 10 bolt will break very easily. Btw, the launch isn't what did my 10 bolt in, the 1-2 shift killed it. I ended up picking up a fully optioned 9in(4.11s, tru trac, aluminum case, powder coated, etc.) for $1800. A buddy of mine had an Eaton and killed it on his 2nd pass down the track. So torsen>eaton.
I wont be racing but would like to open her up once in a while. I guess I should wait and save up for the S60 also.
