Default What Axles to get for 300+whp?

Ok I'm looking into a turbo system but I keep on hearing from my friends that they keep on breaking axles. Most of them Dyno at 335-376whp. So what company out there make a reliable axle?

It's not the WHP that will get you, it's the WTQ(wheel torque). I was told anything over 350 ft lbs of torque I should shop for aftermarket and anything under that just use stock and an feathering launching technique. For added safety you could get DSS stage 3's and not worry about a thing. Later

Backups = autozone/advanced auto extra set of axles. Plus they have a lifetime warranty. Just return them to a different store each time you break them, normally only takes about 3-5 days to get another set. After a couple of sets, you really shouldn't be breaking axles unless you are making gobs of power or are using too big of a slick with poor launch technique.
