First of all your friends lucky his car still drives. Never run an OEM ecu on such a modified set-up thats a no no. And if your snapping axles alot then there is something wrong between your engine and the wheels. Could be alot of things.

 

well someone told me stage 2 clutch with stock axles would be fine

 

you said it had a stage 5

 

Make sure his mounts are all good. If you're gonna bang gears with shot mounts, if the engine rocks too much that could snap an axle. If the halfshaft has any play to it, that could also snap an axle.

 

That sounds like too much clutch for that set-up. If the mounts are good I would consider swapping it for something lighter.

Is he preloading the front-end at all before launching? That might be had to do w/ a stage 5 clutch but it helps stop axle breakage.

 

try upgrading the axles, what kind of axles are u using?
