I ran 12.70's in my Camaro back in the early 90's with 9" slicks and a 4.56 gear in my 8.2. Held up beautifully. I even ran the stock axles. My car was a 331 small block with a 125 pill on it. It came out of the hole hard, lifting one wheel several times if my memory serves me correct. I never had a problem with it. Just recently it was rebuilt and the guy at the ring and pinion shop went through it and said it was in fantastic condition. It's going back into my Camaro again although I chose to swap out the 4.56 for a 3.73 for obvious reasons. I will not be racing this car, but if I was I would probably step up to something a bit stronger. But I'll be damned if I'm going to ever rip an 8.2.

Either I'm the luckiest guy in the world or 8.2's don't get the credit they deserve.
