It depends on if you are going to drag race the car. If you use slicks or even street slicks and launch at high rpm's you will snap an axle. I just did this two weeks ago on my 12a bridgeport using Falcon furion tires with 20psi and launching at 6000rpms'. Run street tires with a tire pressure around 32 psi and you will not have any problems. As long as the tires slip a little and then bite you can get by.
