How much power will a 7.5" rear take?

Hi all,

I'm preparing a 1983 Regal for some mild bracket use this summer. I think I'll be pushing about 350 horsepower, and I'm still running the original pegleg 7.5" rear end out back. Will this rear take 350 horses? Do I need to stick to stret tires only?

Thanks for your opinions!

I have read up on this.
A good set of gears and a girdle should get it to take near 400 hp. That is definitely
a point of disagreement ! I am involved in another webgroup whose 1500 members are about 70-30 to the positive on the 7.5 taking the hp mentioned. Real hard chargers would probably upgrade to a 12 bolt. I believe these can be found to fit your G-body and may be a bolt in !
