I haven't tried it (I'm skeered :p) but you should be alright for a little while if you don't have wheelhop or try 6000RPM clutch dumps. You're imput shaft may not last long though!

I've used ET Streets many times, probably close to 100 launches on a stock IRS. Never a problem. However, I only launch at around 3,000 RPM.

These tires grab well which means no wheel hop. It's the hop that is a much bigger problem.

I borrowed Broke7's ET's & intake (otherwise stock) did 6 passes leaving at 4800 to 5200 (best results with 4800)

I heard later that before my first launch broke said to a guy; "well, it will either go, or it will break" lol...

felt rock solid, and i got some ok times for being new to the car (8th day of ownership 12.37 @ 111.7)

i ran them when i had the irs and my buddy has made plenty of runs with them on a stock irs as well. imo they are easier on the irs than drag radial, no wheel hop at all and the sidewalls help absorb the shock.

I've got about 30 launches on ET Streets. My lowest launch rpm was about 5300. I usually leave at about 6000. Completely stock IRS, suspension, clutch, and tranny... not a problem.

Consistent 1.6x 60's. Best of 1.62.
