With a 4:56 gear an a M20 4speed
I'ts already been determined that a 'launch' on the strip is much more load than will ever be seen at Bonneville.
More than that, he won't be running a 4.56:1 gear, I'm certain. Therefore, the loadings on the axles will be miniscule compared to what you're discussing.
