How much hp will the stock rear assembly handle?
just wondering when to start looking towards upgrading, i'd kinda like to be prepared for it rather than blowing my rear end all over a track and having the car towed home.
i already have toe links, control arms, ppf, and diff brace...are the 300M axles worth while? a kaaz? or should i just look into a Ford rear end.
looking to make at least 550+rwhp and run drag radials on the street and hopefully slicks at the track.

550+ hp will definitely explode your stock diff. Ive never heard of anyone blowing up a Kaaz, but normally after you upgrade the diff, the axles are the next weakest link. A ford rear end would be the easy way out and near-bulletproof....but then you can kiss your handling goodbye and be ready for a shitload of flameage.

That would be cool.
