Stock rear capabilities

I am hopefully about to pull the trigger and get my car cammed and hopefully lay about 390-400. I am pretty sure that my diff is about to go out. Will the stock 10 bolt with a new diff and set of gears hold 400 for a mainly street driven dd? The money just isn't on my side right now to get a 9" or 12 bolt.

I hate to break the news to you but there is nothing strong about the 7.5 10 bolt. IMO a new rear in these cars should come as the first $$ mod anyone ever does. You just will not know until you rip on it.

There are many FAST 10 bolt owners however they are all on big diets. Hi HP is not a big concern its the TQ you are layin down and the amount of weight you are carrying.....
