Default Will I be ok running down the track?

I have a 98 twin turbo Corvette with a stock 2003 M6 tranny, C5 Z06 differential and torque tube, DTE brace, back bone brace (to stiffen the frame), Textralia X-grip clutch, and harden output shafts.

I'll be running on M/T 275/40/17 drag radials. Do you guys think my setup will be sufficient if I hook down the track?

Unless you are making huge boost, you should be okay. With any performance driving, you stand the possibility of damaging or breaking parts.

Be careful, have fun.

Glad I am not in the lane next to you for pinks! I would baby it for the for couple of dozen runs before you break something!
