It would help all involved to know a little more before we try and answer your questions.

Things like engine, transmission (if an auto, the converter specs... etc), gear ratio, modifications to anything engine, drivetrain or suspension would be of great help.

In short... can it take it ?? Well yes... but only to a point. When that point is, becomes the real question. If you take it to the track and run it, will it brake ?? Well... yeah. That's not really a question of "If" it will brake... but more of a question of "When" it will brake.

Answer the above inquiries and help us, help you.

your just going to have to roll the dice. It may hold for awhile and it may break on the first hard launch.

Mine broke on the street with Bridgestone RE730s. I was running a full manual valve body TH400 though.

I've had people call me to order Moser rears, and many have told me how their 10 bolt broke. It ranges from stock power in one week to two to three years on a built combination. I heard of one guy who said his 10 bolt broke backing it out of the garage... Bob

If you are 6 speed and you HOOK good its not gonna last long. You can try to be easy leaving out the hole and dont drop the air pressure to low
