My concern with a bellhousing from a failure perspective hasn't ever been the ability to support the power, but more of a safety concern related to flywheel or clutch failure - ie: containing the shrapnel.

It could be that I've never had anything with enough hp to warrant a concern about the bellhousing being the weak link.

Anyway, my gut feeling is that the bellhousing could handle that type of power, but again -- I always worry about the safety aspects.
