Default Getting tuned this weekend and I'm worried about snapping my Axles....

I am going to get my car tuned this weekend by "Gruvytune" and I was worried about breaking my stock axles. I have Drag Radials and a Quaife LSD and will be pushing 14psi daily... My car does not have problem with Wheel hop. Who's on stock Axles pushing 300-350 whp.

Thanks

I might be misunderstanding what you are saying but you can't really break ur axles on a dyno; there just isnt very much resistance.

Street tuning breaking axles? i mean are you going to run slicks and launch while you are tuning? LOL


I seriously wouldnt worry about it as long as you arent going to be launching hard

I am not really worried about breaking them while i tune, but I am worried for afterwords.... But thanks. I will just be careful.

Anyone Daily Driving with Stock axles over 300 whp without a prob or does everyone upgrade the axles...

axels break because of wheel hop, and the LSD helps stop wheel hop as well as a $15 rear motor mount.

once i installed that stuff on my car, wheel hop basically stoped all together for me
