Default Safe-T-Track "4 pinion" HD Nodular differential real world strenght?

Hi guys, what is the real world strenght for a Safe T Track 4 Pinion Nodular housing HD forged axles differential?

The PO of my 73 Bird had swapped a 3.36 Sate-T-Track HD diff from a 68 Bird to the 73, after relocating the spring perches for second gens. The diff being first gen F body is still slightly narrower but honestly cant really see the difference with the rallye IIs.

The 73 is getting completely new power/drive train this winter. so I thought re-using the Safe T Track in my '80 Camaro which is also getting a new engine this winter.

Do you think the Nodular Safe T Track HD differential can survive a 550-575 hp BBC 454 with a 4 speed? I dont baby my things but I dont plan on using slicks but maybe some DRs on the street. The Camaro should be around 3850 lbs with driver.

I dont want to destroy that somewhat rare diff.

Thanks
Peter
