Default What about this center?

My cars plans are to be in the 500rwhp range. as of now my 10bolt is dead with my m6 formula.

do you think this center could hold up for a street/strip car?

It's a stock case with a painted pinion support made to look like aluminum. I wouldn't rate that past 400hp at the most with a new Trac-loc let alone a used one. Just my .02.

I had a customer push out the caps on a stock case going 10.60's in a gutted 383ci. LT1 TA. I would say anything past 450rwhp or so would need a Strange S casting.

That looks like a stock case (like scott @ dls said) plus it's just a rebuilt stock trak-lock carrier. That probably would be the first thing to go. Just save up some money and get a moser or strange 3rd member setup, you'll be alot happier in the long run.
