Sure, if you're running 165 wide tires back there and trying to launch the car on slick ice?
There are just too many variables to just blurt out an answer like "431hp at the wheels", cause that 's just insane.
It's actually torque that breaks drivetrain parts.
Are you drag launching on 10.5" slicks banging off the rev limiter on a 2-step?

I could pop one of those diffs with a stock motor after a couple of years of hard launching with a pair of 275's on the back......
If you friend wants to slap a supra motor in a 7 and doesn't have these basic concepts of drivetrains down....he might be in over his head
edit: search the single turbo sections and other conversion sections and find guys with big HP number, send out some PM's and see what the yrun for a diff.......that might yield a better answer then "how much wll the rear end take"

if it's an s4 clutch type then I have personally seen those stand up to 500whp engines and repeated hard launches on drag radials. But that one was also freshly rebuilt.

The rear tires will spin.
If you're going to be doing serious drag launching at the track trying to nail that 10-second pass, it'll explode around 400hp.
