Default built rear or meth kit?

so i have been thinking of a meth kit to get some extra hp but i am scared that my rear will not hold up, so what do you think i should do, just fix my rear when it goes and buy a meth kit or replace it now?

I doubt you will blow your rear on Nitto's. I guess it depends on whether or not you plan on going to a stickier tire and plan on launching the car at the track.

Blew your rear in terms of breaking the actual diff/axles or just wearing out the clutch packs?

If you actually broke it rather than just wearing it out then thats ****ed.

if you are going to the track with her I would opt for a built rear end first then add power. If car is not seeing the track you can do the meth injection.

Built rear. And while youre in there, you might wanna drop down to like 3.90's or 3.73's for the blower. Just an idea.
