How much can it handle?
stock 2001 z06 trans and rear with 725-750 rwhp.....going for a 9.9x on friday. i have a set of MT et radials, which I know are not ideal for sticks.
i will not launch on the spray, run about 20 psi in the tires, activate in second gear....looking for a high 1.5x 60 ft.
will it break?

Of course it might not remain in perfect working order after a few passes.

The trans can hold. Be quick and deliberate.
The launch needs to be smooth. You want the tires to spin coming out and you can still cut a high 1.5x.
I would shoot for a 1.6-1.7x because you have the power.That should be doable. Getting the car to hold down track and on the 1-2 might be more difficult.

Anyways, I agree, I am also concerned about traction in 2nd....

Thanks for the advice. I will probably leave around 3500 and fast slip the clutch which I figure will turn into a 1.6x and I don't powershift it, actually shift a little more deliberately. The 01 Z28 I had 15 years ago I could bang pretty fast with no qualms....

It won't spray until I am full throttle after the shift. I lift for the shift so it won't be spraying through any shifts....
