So it looks like some people/companies are starting to put some power into these trucks, and I am wondering if anyone has started breaking parts yet, and why.

I have built and raced a lot of cars/sportbikes, and during development we always pushed until something broke, then we would make what broke stronger, and then just keep going.

That's promising then.

Sounds like a 93 tune that isn't being tracked or launched is well within the limits of the stock transmission
