7.5" and 7.625" questions

how much abuse can the 7.5" and 7.625" take? a buddy of mine tells me that my motor i want to build is too much for these rear ends. 400 to the ground with 50-75 spray.
thanks

Depends on alot of things.... but I'm guessing it won't last too long, if you actually get some traction (sticky tires). That's about the level where the LS1 guys (same rear) start having issues.
