Just remember Eric, keep your foot off the throttle for a while, let the new R&P Work-Harden...THEN rip on those tires.

the guy who put my locker and r&p in has put gears in every kind of performance car from prostock drag cars to stock mustangs, and he told me as soon as i swapped the rear in to beat the hell out of it. he had everything in his shop from 700+ cube drag cars to a prostreet 85 c10. i didn't go easy on mine at all, and have had zero problems
