Default new parts how much hp can it hadle

Im just wondering how much tq can the eaton 31 spline and 31 spline axles handle beings im going that way.This sucks that mine stock one broke but how much can i throw at it and not worry about it.Just say i have 550rwhp and 550wrtq and want to lunch pretty hard.Could i do a 3500 or 4500 rpm lunch on sticky tires and not worry about it.Just wondering what the limits are

You'll be fine. Don't forget to upgrade to 3" studs and open ended lug nuts. A rear end girdle would be a good idea as well.

My Eaton and 28 spline Moser axles have held up to MANY 6500rpm launches.

What do you use studs for? You don't have to have them to upgrade your rear do you? I've already bought all of my stuff to build my rear.
