I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but i've seen mild drag cars pushing 700hp / 650ft,lbs of torque on a stock 8 3/4 rear.
but that was also in a sub 3000lbs car, not a 5000lbs truck, so i imagine that there will be some bearing issues if you use a stock car rear, a Truck rear may be a completely different story, since i could only assume that it would have larger bearings to handle the extra load.
