8.5" Ten bolt

Does anyone know if an 8.5 inch ten bolt will handle 550 hp and 575ft/lbs.
I plan on getting stronger aftermarket axles, pro gear set, ARP fasteners and a support cover. I think that may hold up to the hp and torque but will i destroy the rear with a trans brake?

It shoudl be fine if setup correctly... 600 HP Turbo Buicks still run the stock rears.

yes, those rears can be built nearly as strong as 12 bolts. get the axle tubes welded
