How much Power is too much?

My son's 71 has a built 383 stroker with a TH400, 2500 stall, and B&M shift kit. Thanks to the combo of big power + speed happy teen, the rearend is now gone. Plan on putting a powertrax unit in the next rearend, but he just wants to get his truck rolling again until we get the other rear.

Will a stock 12-bolt rearend handle the task till then? Minus the hard launches that killed the last one. How much power can a stock 12-bolt, open and posi, rearend handle?
