The comment was meant somewhat jokingly. I just meant im not beating on the car and breaking the tires loose at every light. I drive extra gentle with the car because all I ever hear is that these 7 1/4" rears are junk and will "grenade" behind even a 273 Especially if you accelerate going into a turn. Hell,some claim they break behind a slant six. Plus isnt not in my nature to beat on classic cars or show off. Going to a 8.75 eliminates the risk of breaking the rear.
