Will the stock rear end in an 04 automatic survive with nitto 555r's and 4.10s if I launch off idle and race with it?

I don't see why not. From what I have seen the solid axel holds up pretty well. And the 4.10's should be fine.

All depends on how you drive the car. I had that same setup on my 99 and it held up for a year and a half, but two months ago the diff finally came apart. I drive my car hard, so I just rebuilt it.
