If the rest of the rear suspension does it's job then there shouldn't be too much stress on the brackets. Just the vertical forces from the weight/g-forces under hard acceleration. The brackets are made for drag racing setups by QA1 and Comp. engineering. As long as the welds are good they should be fine. I may add a gusset from the upper bar to frame just because it's cantelivered a lot.
I plan on testing them plenty with my 650-700hp turbo motor which will eventually be 1000+hp turbo motor.
