Do you think it's too soon to put full power through the new gears and rebuilt axle?

It's likely too soon to SHOCK them with a SUDDEN jerk to - or from! - wide open throttle;
double or triple downshifts ((4Dn2 / 3Dn1, or 4Dn1) should be avoided.
If they've already got at least 500 miles of gentle break-in, should be safe to be tougher on them for the next 500.

You lucky dog! Would have loved to be a professional in those sports but was a knucklehead in my youth and was a spectator and street car racer as a hobby for a time.

Do you think it's too soon to put full power through the new gears and rebuilt axle?

Honestly, your additional 117 mile drive to the track would 'break in' the surfaces? The axle & gears are nice and new.... should be better than worn out parts....
( I'm 3rd from left..... transport driver / equipment Manager / outside rear tire changer.. FUN part of job, was the pit stops !! )

To sadden you less, let me clarify:
roll into and out of the throttle, don't suddenly mash or jump off of the throttle.

A 4Dn3 or 3Dn2 downshift, followed by WOT, followed by a gradual let-up on the throttle
should not endanger the R&P.

I imagine, you can "hit the throttle" since it is run on an automatic transmission.??
