power numbers

hey everybody...

along the way, i've been considering what i would need to fully develop a
killer V6 Dakota. now, i won't be making any major mods anytime soon, but i
am looking at what i can do down the road (as well as any special deals that
may come up).

with that said, does anyone know the maximum power that an 8 1/4 rear end
can handle? i am not sure exactly what i am going to put through the rear
end, but if i end up really bulking the engine up, i want to know if i
should look for a 9 1/4.

also, does anyone know the maximum power numbers that the AX-15 can handle?
i'm reluctant to pick up a shifter if i will have to change the tranny out
for an NV3500 down the road.

again, i need the numbers (preferably out of some manual or proven numbers).
i REALLY want to keep this truck matching #'s, so its very important to me
to keep these original components, but i'm more concerned with making
something that will hold up to the power i'll end up putting down on the
floor.

thanx,

Gabe Couriel
