48RE Transmission - launching question

Well I've done my research and see that the 48RE should be able to take up to 100hp max without having to beef it up ASAP.

I'm only running a 65hp Quad XZT so I'm well below what it will take, but what about launching?

Is flooring this thing from a stop going to murder it? What do ya'll do for some safe light to light fun with friends?

Just looking for a little insurance or words of caution. I had a modded Hemi with the 545RFE previously which I could just floor all over the place but the CTD shifts much harder (just the nature of it stock) so I'm wondering if I need to worry or not.

As for boost launching I realize this is pretty much a no-no as I understand it so I don't do it.

Thanks for the help. I found tons of posts on how much power it will take but little on the driving style it could take.
