Question Stock rear breaking point?

This thread coinsides with the one i have about building a crate motor vs building one...

what is the breaking point of our stock 7.5" rears? I kno that is a vague question b/c how it is drivin play a huge part, but like is there a hp threshold?

I was thinking of puting 3.73's w/ an auburn diff and a performance cover (the cover is supposed to strenghten the rear somehow), and prob stonger axels. I dont really have the $$$ to buy a 9" or 12" rear, and this way will cost less then half as much a new rear.

for instance, there is someone who lives down the street from me with a 02 ss that runs mid 11's ( i was there and saw it) and to my knowledge he has the stock rear in it with 4.11 gears, but...then i hear of ppl blowing these things up with a basically stock car.

i kno our tranny's are supposed to be good till about 500hp stock (correct me if im wrong)?
