its not the hp that will kill your rear end, its the tq. If you have a safe tune and don't launch it too much you should be more than fine for a year.

You should be fine, the stock rear ends in our cars are pretty strong.

They were wrong.

With 400rwhp, if you ask it to hook often, its gonna bust. If you just let it burn the tires off, theres no strain on the rear, and it will prolly be alright.
