I went 1.5 60's on my stock 10 bolt for like 4 years with many many passes. Yes it did finally brake but there is no specific HP at which it will brake, some people get lucky and some don't. SO I hope you have good luck.

Ok first of all let me throw this caveat out there lol, I know that 10 bolts suck, I know they break on stock hp with street tires etc etc so I do know the risks 
.
I am trying to stretch the budget a little bit this summer and trying to do the top end, full bolt ons etc and then 9" later this summer or early next spring before I even drive the car out of storage. All and all my car should see hopefully 450+rwhp through the stock 10 bolt and stock 3.42's so my question is how much did you throw at your 10 bolt before it finally went?

When I did own a auto on a heavy 383 LT1 car with mild stall and factory 3.23's would run low 1.7's in the 60 and the rear had 114k on it. To me that is freaky in general. It started to howl and thats when the 12 bolt went in.
Then I moved on to a 02 t/a with a 30k 10 bolt, I drove on it and race on the street w/o drag radials and that was about it, the same 12 bolt was moved over.
To be completely honest, rear ends from factory that have been never touched, or changed tend to last the longest. Autos can go farther into the 1.6's or even 1.5's before blowing up, M6 cars can **** out after a hard hit, thats why those drivers tend to ride the clutch and kill those instead.
This is from dealing with these cars since the late 90's

First off any automatic cars do not count, as they are far easier on a 10 bolt then m6 cars. I have personally seen on the street, a good powershift spitting gears out of said 10 bolt.

350 rwhp M6
75 or more track passes (lost count) on 275/40r17 m/t et street radials
Broke my DS before the rear broke
Best 60 ft 1.77 consistent 1.8s
Wasn't that loud, but it has been retired in favor of a strange 12 bolt!

LS1, M6, launch @ 3K on 3:73's killed the axle gears and spider gears in my Auburn posi 10 bolt.
Pics
I replaced it with a Detroit TrueTrac, welded the axle tubes, new bearings and seals and expect to put well over 600 Horse to it eventually. This time I will be launching around 2K, with stickies, at around 450-500. I'll let you know when the axles let loose. Then I guess I will pick up a pair of Moser axles and keep going until I am ready to take the $2k drop into a 12 bolt.

i dyno'd 319.9rwhp on a M6 01 SS at 68,000mi. my 10 bolt decided to do this....
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ageID=43833776
... granted i had really bad wheel hop and a brand new set of 295/35/18 toyo T1R's on the back.... so i'm sure that didn't help much

Well I went 11.90s @ 122 mph with my 00 SS M6. It has a LS7 clutch and on that pass a stock 3.42 geared rear with a 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson radial. Granted I only launched at like 3500 and only cut a 1.96 60', but it lasted. Now Ive got a Auburn pro diff and GM 4.10s and all new GM bearings and new GM axles. No stickey tire now, but in the future they will be back.
Oh yeah the car makes close to 500rwhp on a 150wet shot. And 570 rwtq too.

I roasted my 10 bolt on stock power. Hit a pot hole on acceleration and it wined like a banshee and broke 2 blocks later. Don't have to worry about that crap now.
Save and invest in the 9 inch. When you sell your car swap for someone's 10 bolt and get most of your money invested back. My 2 cents.

Mines still holding strong. Slipping the Spec 2+ at around 2500-3000 on street tires. Spinning and letting my adjustable suspension parts do their work. I just cross fingers and pray every time. LMAO!
