Default Will I be alright?

I was just curious, I'm making 365/385 at the wheels, if I run MT drag radials will the stock rear end be alright? I'm planning on getting suspension upgrades in the near future but as of right now its all stock suspension.

im making 440\410 at wheels with 4.10s in stock 10bolt and it whines like hell, i just got the car a few weeks ago. I have not got the chance to leave the line hard but i really want to and i know it will happen as soon as some honda ******** pulls up next to me lol, but i think its going to break very quickly with my 315 dr's. Once it brakes ill have to scrape pennies to get the moser 9" ive been wanting, but atleast i wont have to worry about it again.

Every other paycheck I take out 20$ to save for when my 10bolt breaks... That way it doesn't break the bank when it DOES blow...I'm at about 700$ over the last couple years. If it doens't break by the time I've saved enough..I'll sell the 10 bolt and make out pretty good.
