Fastest pass on stock or modded factory 10 bolt

What is the fastest pass you all have made with your factory 10 bolt rear. Just trying to see when I need to be worried.

My best friend was running 11.7s on his 10 bolt with 3:73s, 4000 stall, cam etc. Did so for 2-3 years.

He added a BMR torque arm, next time out to the track, his 10 bolt blew and took his built 4l60E out with it.

Awright, you are already scaring me, I have just installed 3.73 gears and UMI torque arm with relocater. Have always had a 3200 tci Streetfighter. Best run so far was mid 11's with 170 60' time sprayn 125. Want to know how much more it can take. I was hoping for a real low 11 with the factory rear end since I have changed gears and added mac mid tube with ory since last time out.

I believe you are on borrowed time. We were both pretty sure it was the torque arm that killed his rear, there is no give with the aftermarket torque arm in there. He was cutting 1.6s and 1.7 60s, so I would be saving for an upgrade rather soon.

12.5 at 115MPH.
M6.

12.04 @ 104 (missed 4th, but 1.7 60') or 12.xx @ 117 (bad 60', but good mph) on stock 10 bolt, stock TA, and M6 on 150 HP shot. Launched @ 2400RPM.

My rear is definitely up for replacement early next year. Could have possibly been this summer but after spinning a rod bearing, that repair comes first.
