1. Which differential do you have?
2. What do you plan on doing with the car?
If you have a stock ten bolt, even mildly modified cars will grenade them occasionally, its not a reliable idea for a 400hp car. If its a nine bolt, you can expect it to hold up to more, but if you plan on extensive track use its a good idea to either modify what youve got or buy a 12-bolt or 9in. Do a search, this has been discussed many times.
