I bent several stock axles over the years behind a 427 big block putting out a little over 550hp to the rear wheels. I cured the problem by installing a set of Moser axles and then installing a Moroso Brute Strength differential. If you find a good 12 bolt housing, the moroso carrier will run you about 500.00 and the axles will cost another 250.00 plus what you would have to pay a shop to set it all up for you. You won't be sorry and like the others responding to this issue have said, it will handle just about anything you can throw at it.
After many years of running my 12 bolt, I just committed to a custom built 9" from Hot Rods to Hell. It will also handle just about anything I will be throwing at it and will also weigh significantly less then the GM12 bolt I was running.
