Hmm....the horsepower isn't the problem, buddy---the torque is. If you're launching at 3000rpm, you are RIGHT in the powerband for maximum torque----on a stock Rx-7 that's made to handle less than 1/4 the horsepower and disgustingly less torque.
I wouldn't worry about your rear end, God knows that won't hold up. I would worry about your driveshaft making your car a martyr machine.

Just read your post again, I say you'll be lucky if you manage to even warm up the tires without blowing the rear end.

My stock SE rearend has held up very well,but I attribute that to a fair bit of lowend turbo lag.And I dont beat it......
The stock rearend is reasonably tough,but yea they arent made for crushing lowend torque launches.Start looking for a Ford 8.8" rearend.
