Usually, they say an 8inch will handle about 300hp.
You can buy stronger axles and stuff from Currie, and Moser
It could handle 500, as long as that 500 never met the ground (if you weren't going to run slicks), I just read an article in the new HOTROD about a 400hp, 4cyl, 2500pound pinto that runs high 10's with turbo and NOS, and he is running an 8-inch with stock axles.
: How much power will a stock 8" rear take? Can it handle 500 horse power?
