How much power to break off a tail housing?
how much power at the wheels does it take to break the tail housing since the torque arm bracket bolts to it?

Ive seen 1,000rwhp cars with the tq arm still there and I've seen them break on a stock car..

The tailhousing is a poor location for the mount because suspension movements can break the alloy casting. One breaking isn't a valid measure of engine power.
