A spool is a spool is a spool. It makes zero difference how fast the car is. I've had full spools, mini spools, welded spiders, auburn conical units, Detroit lockers, Ford units, GM units, and open carriers.
Can you run a spool and deal with it? Yep. Are there FAR better options? Absolutely. Spools are rougher on parts, and it doesn't sound like the OP is going to invest cash for top quality axles and bearings.

But, I concede that people run them and some have no issues at all.
