Stock axals

[GTIF]

How much power will the stock axals in my 02 GT handle?
I'm gussing 400rwhp.

the likelihood of the stock axles breaking doesn't really have to do with the amount of hp the car is pushing. it all depends on how much traction you have, and how hard you launch on them. your car could have stock hp with gears and slicks and you'll snap axles. or you could have 500hp with stock tires, and be fine

if you gonna run sliks you'll have to upgrade your rear end

It all depends on how you drive the car. It's also hit or miss. I know guys running 11's on stock rear. Yet I run low 13's high 12's and have problem launching at 3000 with nitto's.

I got stock axels leaving line at about 4000 on nittos and hittting juice as car launches

I have a stock set up..rear/axles (391.3rw) and have been OK so far with Nitto DR's. Wait until something breaks before upgrading. I don't think I'll break anything with Nitto's...especially any speed records.

i've seen more axles broken with low profile nittos than slicks....

slicks break diffs

dr's snap axles

I hear ya. I'm just being a little sarcastic...I cannot hook with the DR's & 3:73s.
I launch about 2000 and spin badly.....NEWS FLASH..doorbell just rang...UPS drop off...MGW shifter is here..yeh baby

if you get some good track prep, heat them up, 18psi or so and do a quick dump/ride the clutch from 4500rpms it will happen...

how do I heat up? no line lock.. water box-quick spin? I launched w/o a burnout. Roger the 18psi

heel toe the burnout...its really easy. you. or you can do the dump and stab the brakes method. prctice on the street. if you heel toe, make sure you dump the clutch out high and dont hold it down at all or you will fry it like you are riding it

He's saying that you should quickly release the clutch pedal and keep your foot out of it. Otherwise, you'll burn up the clutch because you're slipping it while burning out.
