FC chassis & diff power limit

How much are you guys putting out horsepower wise before needing to have a roll cage/stitch weld or replace the diff?

What hp would a good reliable daily driven street FC make? 300hp @ fly?

that would be suffiecent only if you had a gently used TII without many miles, the bracket on the rear sub frame that holds the differntial mount busted but my car had 100+k on the body and I'm only pushing around 250-260 at the flywheel........

a turbo II should handle 400 at the wheels pretty reliable. just no hard lanches...

The reason I'm asking is that, I'm looking at buying an FC most of which seem to have around 100,000 miles on them.

I guess a rebuild would be in order.

There is a 3rd gen giant turbo 20B in Middleburg FL thats Dyno'd >600RWHP with the stock diff.
I heard he pulled 815RWHP last month, but I haven't confirmed it.
