a stock 10 bolt, no, will not hold up, the axles will snap . But there are guys over on the yellow bullet forums that use 10 bolts and do well with them. However, they do have all the good peices in them, spool, axles , gears...
I think at the speed that Wes told you , you will need at least a c-clip eliminator kit to hold the axle in once it snaps...
I still would recomend at the least a 12 bolt if you are going to spend money on good parts.
9" fords are very strong when done right, but are a little more expensive to build up.
A dana 60 is very strong, similar to a 12 bolt, but on steroids. that would be a good choice. May be hard to find as the chrysler guys all seem to hord these up, and 12 bolt housings are becomeing as easy to find as my glasses
However, strange does make new 9" and dana housings for a reasonable price.
