Default How strong are stock axles?

Hi, just want to know how much power a stock B series axle can handle?
i will be putting my N/A H2b into my civic this spring and i was wondering if i will be ok with stock axles for a lil?? I know i should and i will upgrade to stronger ones but i was wondering how much these can handle!

Thanks

All depends on what you are gonna do. If you always run street tires, you will be fine. Traction is what will kill your axles.

I have broken the inner CVs on my driver side axle twice in one year launching on slicks. I only have a 180whp LS/Vtec. Just went to DSS 2.9 axles.
