I upgraded to 31 spline. I've been launching as high as 5000rpm on drag radials with no problems.

your rear will be find you dont have to worry about it falling off the 8.8's are very very strong rears i have a friend pushing 475 on DR's with a stock diff and hasnt had a problem. with high hp and DR's you need to watch your torque boxes just get them reinforced and you will be fine

ive been limiter launching my car on slicks for some time now with stock axles. you dont have anything to worry about until you start making alot of power.
