Default New 408 with street tires...is it doomed?

Planning to break in the new 408 on the street with some wot blasts within reason. Is my stock 10 bolt going to take a ****? I've got full suspension and GSD3 tires...just want to make sure my car won't be down for another month while I wait for my diff. Think it will hold?

I think I can see it sweating already. LoL

Buddy here local is running a 10-bolt (for now) with a 408 w/200 shot. Hasn't broke yet, but he keeps it on street tires. No launches from a dig either. He is pushing around 700 RWHP on the juice.

His screen name on here is CONFUZED

I've been running my stock 10 bolt for the last 4 months w/725rwhp on street tires. No open throttle till 3rd gear for sake of the rear and the street tires. I'm cashing in early as I don't want to be stranded or down as it's a DD so I'm installing a new moser 9" and alum DS this weekend so I can really see what she'll do!

Yeah I'm debating on a 9" or the new dana 60 with a chromoly DS.

I'll be spraying a 250 progressive DP shot.

Harland 2 step
ET Drags
Max 2
HSW fuel cell

...whatever I get, it better be up for a good beating.


Thanks for the responces guys. I thought I would be fine if spinning...just wanted to make sure.
