Power handling of wheel adapters?

Im wondering about the 4x110 to 5 lug bolt pattern adapters that are available here : http://cpracing.ca/cgi-bin/online/storepro.php . How would these stand up to, say 400 RWHP?

1. Are the manufacturers reputable?
2. Are they engineers?
3. If so ask them if their product is good enough.
4. If not find someone else.

Seriously.................if you want, and can afford to build a 400 REAR WHEEL HP engine.....you can afford to swap in an 8.8" Ford rearend,or a Dana 44 or something.The stock FB rear wont last long with a 450+ HP engine under the hood.....The question of 110mm wheel adaptors holding up, should be moot.

I have 400 rwhp, a Ford 8.8 Rear end, and 1.25 Inch spacers.

They are made out of billet aluminum, and bolt on to my my car,
with their own studs sticking out.
