Question Which set of axles?

What set of axles would be good for around 400 whp that can take a little beating on (*future build)? I've been looking around at OTT, and ZZP, etc but am indecisive as I have not heard a lot about them other than OTT stage 1 axles being good. But I noticed on the site they note they are good for 325 whp, and I'm thinking I might need something a little stronger. Thanks guys

May want to look into the Drive shaft shop level 2's for 400 HP.

Most are not at this torque level, and dont need them, due to this most are at the stage 1's you see around.

However for those with the level 2's we have never heard of any issues with them, at least the sets we have sold.

I ran the stage 2's back in the day and the driver side let go on me. They are pretty good about warranty work but they aren't without flaw i would say.

When you take wheel hop out of the picture you generally eliminate 80% of the risk. The other risk is running a sticky tire and hooking to hard. People have ran the stage 1 axle on over 400 and been fine on street tires. Only issue is once slicks or radials are on it causes much more stress.

If you are still just looking wait a little bit we have something in the works that will be pretty cool

Sounds great. I'm still looking around. I plan on finishing my build sometime by the end of the year/ beginning of next year so I'll most likely be seriously looking to purchase a new set of axles a few months from now... Anytime before I complete my build so I don't mind waiting lol Thanks
