How much abuse will stock/SN95 axles take?

I'm doing a 5 lug conversion this winter along with a KB blower, water/methanol injection and porting heads and I am wondering if I should get aftermarket axles or if the SN95's will hold up fine. Thanks.

I am sure they can take it, but with slicks, you would be pushing the breaking point of your rear end.

I was thinking I might see a little bit of track time w slicks. Is there anything I can do to reinforce or beef up axles?

If you havent bought them yet, maybe a 31 spline truck differential and some 31 spline axles...

its the same spline so it will hold just as much as stock axles.
