Welcome to the site.

You little bronco will perorm better than it ever has, but it has a few weak links if you are running stock axles.
Your steering will be rather tough, and you will find some of the weaker components rather quickly.
With that much horsepower the small u-joints and axles will eventually fail if you find any kind of traction.

Tell us more about your ride. Any Pics?
