what will the stock rear hold?
I am building a turbo 5.3 with a th350 trans. 3200 stall. Trying to figure if I should go ahead and get a rear diff set up, or see what I can do with the stock one. Going to run 273 or 308 gears in the rear and more than likely drag radials. any suggestions?

Their really is no answer on how much one can hold. I have talked to customers that have had them break while their car was stock and have others mention how they made such and such HP before theirs let go.
It isn't really a HP thing that breaks these. It is the torque arm attached to a housing that just can not handle the abuse.

Best straight answer, anywhere from stock to 1k HP. Depends on weight of car, tires, what type of driving/racing you do etc....I've seen people with 800 rwhp running a stock 10 bolt, but it never leaves the street and never sees anything but street tires. Also I've seen broken 10 bolts in stock power cars running m6's and drag radials at the track....
Basically any way you stack the odds, any 10 bolt with a torque arm is a ticking time bomb.

I went 11.7 with a 1.7 60' with a 100 shot on my stock 10 bolt and tq arm. But this is an a4 sometimes that helps them last longer but best idea is a s60 or strange 12 bolt. Then you can beat the **** out of it and not have to worry
