4k Stall and stock axles

[justinschmidt1]

So would my stock 28 splines get blown to the moon with a 4k stall and some sticky tires?

The amount of time they will hold up depends on the amount of traction you get. You will smoke your stock diff faster than you will break your axles. If you put M/T's on there you might find yourself replacing axles soon.

HAHA +1 Thats what happened to me with the 3200 stall.

Was this at the track or street use over time?

SO basically I would need to upgrade my entire rear end for a stall?

here's some info for ya,a friend of mine put a carbed 408 in a 2001 mustang v6 body and left in the 7.5.the only mods to the rear was that he welded the spider gears(i know,i know)anyway the car ran several 6 sec 1/8 mile passes,the best being 6.78 at 102-103 mph and never gave up and this was with 60' times in the mid 1.50's.well when we finally pulled the 7.5 to install a built 8.8 the only thing wrong with the stock axled 7.5 was that a tooth was chipped off the ring gear but it never did hurt an axle!maybe he was just lucky

I dont know...seems like some people can do whatever they want and never break a stock axle.....yet everyone says they break easily?

my 02 gt cut a 1.68 60' on a low 12.40 pass and still has stock axles.it only has a pi 3200 converter though and that was spraying a 125 shot out of the hole!

I broke my diff at the track. It was at the 1/8 mile mark at around 80ish mph, the car was spinning badly then it dead hooked and blew.

I pushed my stiff pretty hard though. I had a BONE STOCK auto tranny deep into the 11s with out a tranny cooler or anything.

They are really stout axles bone stock. The 8.8 is probaly the best part on a Mustang, lol.

People DO break them however. They arent bullet proof, but they are very tough and will withstand alot of abuse so long as they are in good shape to begin with.

Camaro/TA guys wish their cars had an axle that stout from the factory.
