For NA then yes, they're quite durable, but they weren't designed for nearly that power. The best bet is to swap in a TII rear end, it's larger and stronger.

i was informed that the GTUs has the same rear as the t2 the only difference being that it has the 4.30 gears
is that not correct ?

no that is wrong. the gtus is a non turbo rear diff with 4.30 gears and a limited slip.

I have broken two NA diffs. One open and one LSD. Both in a Streetport NA car. Not to mention 4 Transmissions. I am now running a TII driveline and see how it holds up. If you can, find a complete parts car and transplant the entire driveline and part the rest.
