uhhhh don't know...I'd have the axle tubes welded to the case to add more strength but I'd have to say easily over 600 hpjust a guess though..no strategy behind my giess either

It also depends if you throw big drag meats and high rpm launches, or just street tires and daily drive it. If it's the latter, you will never break it.

I've got a spool,c-clip elem.and 31 spine axle's and tubes welded also. I dont think you would have to worry about breaking it. You might have a problem with the c-clip elem. leaking some. I have a slight leak on the driver's side, but not bad enough yet to pull axle.

When I put my 4:10's I asked the guy at precision gear about those axles, cause I have them
also , he said easily 600 horse , if i recall correctly, I also asked him about those c-clip eliminators and he said strickly drag racing ok, street no way, and yes he mentioned the leaks.

Good Luck

There is a guy that comes into the shop with a 90 GT that has a 572 ci big block Ford and had a Jerico in it. He ran in the low 9s with a 1.40 60'.He was usingMoser 31 spline c-clip style axles and clip eliminators. He has since changed his set up but he never broke those. I think you'll be ok.
