I concour that you will need aftermarket HP half shafts if you run with DR's. I also think it will twice as bad with a 20" DR. I had installed aftermarket shafts and a Quailfe so I should to good to go.
How is your Quaife holding up? I have been hearing that they are breaking. CMJ Performance will be coming out with a new rear set-up (gears, 1200hp axles, differential, drive shaft) that is guaranteed for life. I am not sure what to do.

SH**!!!! Are you Kidding me. Something just broke last night as I was driving in front of the chrysler dealership. It sounded like the tranny but not sure if it was the back or front that sounded like it was grinding. I put in Reverse it grinded and the in drive it grinded. They said there tranny guy will be in on Monday. Dam, I don't know what to do now?
Are you guys thinking we should be able to run these with stock half shafts? I personally think we should be able to as long as we don't run the tire pressure too low so they hook too good. I feel that a little wheel spin would be better on the stock half shafts then a dead hook. I want to us these on the street. My car is not a daily driver...
Thoughts?
I would snap my half-shafts on Day 1 with these tires.
So what's the verdict on running DR's with factory 6.1 power ratings? I spent a night at the track and have now become a bit obsessed with the idea of running DR's to drag in some better times. As Moose mentioned above, it seems as though there are plenty of SRT's doing just that... running DR's on a regular basis without halfshaft problems.
I run the 305/35/20 Nitto's on my 300 and have had no halfshaft issues.
My car has gone 1.73-1.78 60' with out a issue...knock on wood!!
Well that's great news! Very nice times also... WOW!
Reading through most of the posts regarding DR's, sounds as though running stock power and going for some extra traction may or may not cause me issues... but in all likelihood I should be fine.
