You could put a 1000 lb-ft torque engine in front of an 8 3/4 and as long as the tires broke free first the rear end would live. It's the amount of torque RESISTANCE that breaks the rear or the driveshaft or the transmission or the u-joints. Also spelled traction or hook.

Yep well said; it's about traction, not power.
