I wouldnt worry about new axles for that much HP.

If you find that your snapping axles or Seriously f---ing them up, you should try some different launching techniques.

Ever tried preloading your clutch?

Have you snapped one yet? I know that when MA-ZE was running his BP turbo that he was using stock Tranny and axles til like 350hp. Then he got upgraded axles and then tranny at like 425.

well only during launching. I can't go past 2k off the line otherwise I'll get major wheel hop and snap. Mines starting to make noises while turning and my turbo should be done some time this week or else early next week. I'll get pics too. Thats why I was wondering if anyone new the max whp ratings on our stock axles.

it happens when you launch because the car is sitting there with no load on the drivetrain and once you release the clutch, it puts a major shock on the drivetrain.

Search the internet on preloading your clutch in a FWD car.
