Launching my car with a 3-bolt, stock tranny, unsprung XTD Stage 4. Will it break?

Just wondering if I can expect a shorter drivetrain life due to my decision to purchase an unsprung XTD Stage 4 setup with XTD light flywheel? It is a 6 puck unsprung type.

I don't anticipate my tranny lasting long on the street if I launch it. I feel kind of stupid for not buying another organic, but I didn't want a slipping clutch either.

I certainly didn't want the hubs dissapearing like they did with the PTT.

Will I no longer be able to have a blast launching on the street anymore like I could with my PTT (for a while)?

I am more worried about the tranny and 3 bolt at this point than I was with the PTT.

Thanks!
 
The 3-bolt axles break before the center-diff in the trans. The 3 bolt lsd rear ends seem to do better, but still break the passenger axle. The nice thing about the puck disks is that you can slip them as much as you want on the launch, and they wont slip the rest of the way down the track.
 
Good info, not as worried now! Thanks as usual. :D
