8.25 and slicks?

My motors coming together this weekend and I should be driving by the end of the month. My problem is that I wsnted to race quite a bit this year. I have read plenty of stories about guys running these rears behind cars with slicks but I will be pushing close to 400 hp hopefully and I was curious if a 8.25 with 3:55 sure grip will handle a hard launch from a 400 horse small block on slicks?
