Default Stock rear end okay with cam?

I plan on getting a cam within the next few months. I have decided on a Comp 224/230 114 lsa for my 03 Z06. Only other mods I have is full exaust and vararam intake, I know it's only a matter of time before the stock clutch lets go but how about the rear end? I assume I will be around 420ish to the wheels, how much hp is the stock rear end good for?

Wheel hop is the biggest killer of the diff.

do anything you can to avoid wheel hop/drivetrain shake and don't launch it hard on sticky tires and you should be fine... I put 800rwhp through my stock diff for a few years with no problems
