What torque/hp BW 9-bolt capable of?

Just want to know if I need to worry about anything after juicing my motor up around 500 hp with a 125 shot.

I've been running my completely stock 9 bolt for almost 4 years now behind my big block (500hp/520lbft) with 1.72-1.75 60fts (7.7x @ 94mph 1/8 mile). I originally had 3.27 gears, but now am running 3.73's. I am going to 4.10's with a mini spool and rear girdle (which will be available soon) this spring in my 9 bolt for the race track and to 3.45's in my street 9 bolt. Only takes about an hour to swap rears. I figure the track version with the mini spool and girdle should work into the high 10's provided it's not behind trans brake and 5k converter.
