Default will a 10-bolt hold up

i got an LS2 408 with a TH-400 (trans brake and 3800 stall) I was wondering if anyone thinks the 10 bolt will hold up I do have a gridle on it with a 3.73 gear, im guessing probably not but i hate the idea of losing a lot of power going to a 12-bolt or 9 inch???

I do not think so, not with your power/brake/stall,if you run tires.
my 10 bolt is still going with stall/3.73/mt radials, but I have a lot of money in it welded tubes/3.73/gurdle/locker/axels/qa1/adjustable lca/relocake brackets/adjustable ta(with a 9"/locker/4.10 ready waiting on the side)
good luck,Johnny
