Default Breaking a a4 rear end

How much horsepower will break my rear if i have an auto on my lt1. Im getting my heads back from the machine shop along with a cam so i'll be putting down some good numbers. Im just curious to know when i should expect for the rear to break after i go with a 3200 stall. I really want to bump up to some 3.73 gears from 3.23 but i dont want it to be a waste of money if my rear is going to break.

Hard to say, some rears hold better tham others, I cut 1.6's on mine and its still holding strong !

ok cool. i want to get a new diff and 3.73s without worrying about them breaking which will force me to buy a new rear meaning the moeny spent on the diff and gears would be wasted. i know these m6 guys are busting their rears constantly. good thing i got a little more reliability with the auto.
