The quality of the stock rear-end is there, you just don't have very steep gears. A numerically higher gear ratio will drastically improve your accelleration.

Your tranny will go before your rearend will. The stock T-5's are rather weak. If you go with real sticky tires and real good rear suspension, you might lose your axles to such a hard launch.
