what mods are you running? or just a guess at your power level? i'm basically trying to plan ahead so i know when to save for new axles and clutch. preferably before any issue, but not waste money.

Kennyspec on here has an LSJ turbo swap that laid down 360whp. At the track with slicks his launch control screw up and he launched it at like 4000rpm accidently. It cracked the transmission housing on both sides where the axels go in. Axels didn't break...

my buddy 07blackSC was the first twincharge from ZZP...all he had was the Ingalls ETD from when he had just the blower...axles held up just fine, never launched though but they held up great with 406whp 372wtq driven hard all the time

I broke 2. One with street tires at the track about 15 feet out. The other was with a DR, about 2 feet out. That was only around 300whp.

Stock axles can take a hell of a beating, most of the time it's just driver error or incorrect suspension geometry/setup that causes wheel hop which breaks the axles or sometimes worse, the transmission case.
