Default When will it break????

I have a 2002 Z06 that I bought from a guy. It has about 440 hp at the wheel. It is fast now, but may add more. At what hp are people breaking rear ends with drag radials? The only thing he beefed up is the clutch (stage 3 kit). It has not seen the track since the mods were added, but I would like to go just to see what I can do. Want to make sure the rear can handle that much hp with drag radials. Thanks.

Need to beef up the rear w/ superior (left & right) side out put shafts. Would make sense to install a diff/trans brace @ the same time. Next to go after that , I would guess to be the rear trans shaft, after that the next weakest link & so on & so on. Good racing to ya..
