I agree, but I would think that 575 would be pushing the envelope with 93 only and stock internals/compression. I know very little about TVS setups, so this is pure speculation. I have heard that the 1900 can support over 700 hp with ease. Again, no real knowledge of this.

LOL'n at all the bs speculations here. Who gives a fock about some guy who enjoys his to drive his car and race other people. Some people act like they have lost lots of money over the fact that he has beat them or a friend supposedly faster car. Wierd things happen on the street where some cars hook and others don't...

They are similar in that they both drive the rear wheels of GM cars.
I've always wondered how much the GTO rear can take, some say hardly any because of wheelhop; others say with a bias ply you are good to go. I wouldn't want to be spending 5k on a rear, I know that.

GTO rear is alot stronger then the Fbody rearend, but the driveshaft is a different story. here is how I've been told by various GTO vendors it goes: (*this is for '05-'06 cars. '04 rearends are much weaker)
450rwhp upgrade driveshaft
500rwhp upgrade axles
550-600rwhp upgrade the inner stubs, and stock posi unit needs a upgrade too.
650+rwhp outer stubs
There is quite a few guys making at or over 1,000rwhp with just the upgrades listed above. And upgrading to anti wheelhop axles will fix the hop issues. About $2500-$3000 to upgrade it all, add another $400+ for gears if 3:46 isn't steep enough for you.
