Didn't you ask that here? :confused: ---> http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=777497

As others answered, it will NOT last long. Maybe a few runs, but add slicks and it's all down hill from there.

A few people have gotten away with it..... Some people's break at 450hp....

Depends on how well it was all taken care of.

Don't see a problem on street tires because they'll just break lose.. but you won't get too many passes out of it with slicks...
