ZF's can take almost anything you can throw at them, yours will handle that stuff

the guys at ZFDoc can make them hold up to 1000hp or more

The early ones (like yours) are rated for up to 450 ft lbs of torque. A good Heads and cam package wont hurt it. Its when you start trying to pull 1.5x 60 foot times that youre in trouble. To do that you'll need a big clutch and some big sticky tires.
