The real problem is that the clutch packs are at their max split. Any added power just goes to the front wheels ruining the balance. It should take plenty of more power, it's just going to get less and less balanced when doing so. The 70% is marketing crap, there's a certain torque level that the clutches can physically transfer so upping the power doesn't add much more power to the back. It shouldn't grenade anything under normal levels either but clutches will wear out more quickly I'd bet.
