Like everyone has said it is a hit or miss with them. Some can go through hell and back, some cant even handle stock power. Wheel hop is your worst enemy with a 10-bolt though...

Or just buy a new/used rear?

Having a 10 bolt is like being diagnosed with cancer and given 6 weeks to live. You could die in a few weeks or live on for years. I just rebuilt mine for the first time with this car after tearing the differential up. I will say it lasted through quite a bit of abuse and track runs on my M6 though. This time around I put a smart sleeve in place of the crush sleeve, welded the axle tubes to the center section and added a Perfect Launch rearend girdle. Hopefully this one will last until I can get a Dana S60!
