Cool Hhr/ss cv axles

Has anyone had any issues with theres as of yet? I'm talking to the Drive Shaft Shop out of Salisbury,North Carolina. They are expensive but with the new setup we are planning for the Gadget over @ Secret Services, I'm thinking I'm going to need them

11's are good but i guess what i'm asking is powerwise? not how fast they can go on them... What's the breaking strength?

I went to the tractor pulls last weekend with my SS and I was running 44"s on the front with stock axles.

Hes trying to tell you power MAKES speed...stock axles held up at athe drags with over 350 HP..base it on that..also are you ever using slicks? If not then run with what ya got cause the stocks tires will turn before the axles snap....

The chief factor determining torque shock to the drivetrain is traction, not power. 95% of the time with FWD, the tires are the safety fuse for the drivetrain. Even at 250 HP, put some slicks on there and watch clutch, trans, and halfshafts start breaking. I've seen some fairly shabby work come out of the Driveshaft Shop.
