Lightbulb what to do about rear end??

my 99 TA is right around the 500whp mark on a head cam pkg. my next power adder will be a direct port no2 set up. while building my no2 set up i will be getting my t56 rebuilt with the good stuff. my rear end is still a stock 10 bolt now. i can get rear ends parts from my job on a prettey good price. i can get a new eaton dif,ring/pinion,31spline axels,and all bearings for about 1000$$. i can get a moser 12 bolt for about 2000$. my car will may be see the track 2-3 times a year.(thats what the bottle is for) i prob. put 300-400 mile os street driving a week on my car(every day driving stuff food,work, stuff like that) i will prob just be running a 315-35-17 tire (555r or bfg dot radial) is it worth spending that much mor money for a 12bolt???how much power will a built 10bolt hold up to??? just getting ideas so i know what to start buying!!!
