depends on how much power you're putting out and what
kind of rear end you have.

pardon muah, I somehow forgot the first part of what
you said when writing my reply.

what kinda rear end do you have? I can't answer your questions,
but if you provide enough detail, others can.

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.
