You're rolling the dice. I pushed a beefed up 10 bolt into the low 11's with no problems. No matter what you do to try and make it stronger, it will still have a tiny ring and pinion.
If you have enough money to build a high HP engine, spend more money to upgrade the rest of the stock driveline to handle the power.

Yes, but he won't be hitting his rear end with 400ftlbs of torque off the line.
His turbo will put power on much slower then a blower/nitrous so it'll live longer. However 700HP is still nothing to sneeze at. if you have a big stall speed a sticky tires you'll probably blow it to smithereens.
