'Tis not HP/T that breaks driveline components, 'tis grip 
It really depends on how you use that HP. If you plan on 5K dumps, you need to make sure it will hold up over time. If you are running a open-track, it is not as big a concern. I am sure Sharad will chime in, as I think they run UPR parts on some pretty high HP/T drag cars.

These control arms are AWESOME!! They work really well. We're making 701rwhp on one of our demo cars which has poly bushings at both ends, and they're holding up just fine. Of course, they have a lifetime guarantee so it's no worry either way. However, these LCAs with sphericals at one end will handle more power.

right now I can't get on it very good through first or second because I just spin. When I get better tires I'm going to go with a good tire for cornering not DR's.

If your looking for a tire that is nice in the corners, it will not be soo nice in the quarters. You are running some pretty substantial HP/T numbers, so grip is at a premium for you.
Head over to the Tires/Wheels section (I am a mod there as well) and post up what tires you have and we can discuss a good tire for your needs.

Having the same problem... Upr drivers lca is "poping" only that side.. Same bolts same torque.. I feel like I have isolated it to the heim joint.. Is there a lube I should try? Bought 1.5 mo ago just installed this week 75 miles on the poping the whole time.. .?
