snaping axle on slicks??

I'm looking at getting some hoosier drag slicks. all I have in my EG is a stock b18c swap and exhaust. should i be worried about snapping an axle?

not if you preload

you would get a better response in the drag section

Usually they snap because theres the extenders you put on the axle to move the slick out so it dosnt come in contact with the wheel

which makes more pressure on the end which will make it snap

Like he said

And slip the clutch, I've got hundreds of 400+ WHP drag launches with slicks on my OEM EM1 axles,plus many hours/minutes of road-course/autocross, over 120,000 miles of abuse, and they are still fine on my dailydriver.
