Default rear end weak points

What do you think is the first thing thats going to (or would worry about) break with a 3600 converter, 3.73's and about 400 RWHP besides the studs, im going to get those arp studs right now.

lol, you dont' have to worry about the studs breaking.
Most I see the spyder gear breaks.
Others see the ring gear a lot too.
Some see axles break...dont' waste your money.

save for a 12 bolt,9 inch or s60. as already mentioned the 10 bolt is weak in more than one place.heck, i've seen 4:10 gears for a 10 bolt get broke on street tires on the street.on a 100 % street car with relatively minimal mods the stocker (usually) lasts a very long time but when the dragstrip abuse starts it isn't long before it goes south for alot of people.

It's just luck. I have seen people break upgraded 10 bolts on street tires then I have a good friend of mine who finally broke a axle on a stock 10 bolt after 5 years of track abuse on a h/c/no2 car.

well the picture was extremly informative, i can now asses the exact mentioned weak points in the rear and start attacking the situation, haha. Having said that, im going to just hope things dont break. And for 40 bux to get wheel studs its work it, ive heard storyes at the track where they break and people go into the wall or just mess there car up, and costs more then 40 bux to fix.
