The clutch will eventually slip, and the D/S will eventually twist in half. I'd look into upgrading as soon as you possibly can.

BTW, I know a guy personally that puts down only 330hp at the rear wheels, and he scattered his 10 bolt. So you might wanna start saving.

yeah your clutch will soon go, followed by your rear end, mine is slowly breaking on the street, with just bald street tires too. driveshaft will go when you start adding traction.

its not if its when it will go out. at that power level most of that is going to go it is just a waiting game or fix it before it breaks.
