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.
