Default axles

i recall reading on some high hp setups refering back to their factory axles as their weakest link. how much can you push with them until they start to fail? also at what point will you need an lsd? aiming for 450hp.

at 450 i wouldnt even think about axles, u can break any axle even with less power than that. its all about how you treat them.

haha mine too at over 600whp. obviously they are gonna fail at some point, its up to you whether u want to spend the money to save on downtime. im gonna be hitting the track with stockers, gonna preload them on the slicks and try to baby them at the line.

your's is the lifetime warranty axles too? yeah i'm not worried about breaking them but just want an idea of how much beating they will take. my buddy took my car out for a spin and took a few corners, ripping one of the boots on the passenger side. forgot to tell him not to corner with my car. just too lazy to keep replacing them like you mentioned.
