I've got a stupid amount of rubber on the back and could make the thing dead-hook with 500HP, but opted to take a little hit out of the 4-link and be easier on the old TH350, mild steel shaft etc. It's a Dyneer "No-Spin" Detroit locker w/ 33 spline Dutchman axles. I'm just unsure of what the locker is going to tolerate. If you've been launching a with the torque listed in your siggy,, I should be OK. Still going to drive this thing on the street is the only reason I'm not dumping the locker for a spool.

Dunno if he answered you yet or not Marv, but I ran a detroit locker in my camaro for 2 seasons. It's a clutch car, 3900lb race weight (I know) and makes ~650-700rwhp on the jug. Left on the 2-step at 6500-7000rpm and it never skipped a beat. Put in a spool this year when I narrowed the 9" and the locker looked new still when I pulled it. I don't think you'll have any problems.
