Stock AWD axle limits?

Colossus · 01-11-2005, 02:15 PM

Well, I've always been shooting for big numbers. But, to save from people going off topic here, we'll assume I'm making 500whp. What are the stock axle/transfer case/rear differential (3 and 4 bolt), and the driveshaft limits? I've got spares that I'd like to look around to having built but only if I absolutely have to. I've seen all sorts of DSMs running 400-500+whp, and I never see anyone discussing and drivetrain past the transmission. I'd really like not to go to the track and snap an axle on launch. Who sells aftermarket stronger axles anyways?

Hey the stock axles can handle up to 550 hp. There are couple guys i know that still got them . And they are making more than 500hp. Also u can check machv.com . I think they are selling new performance axles . I think they are made by fidanza. Also check with cft. central florida turbo.com about the new gator axkes. Good for 600hp an more. If it was me i will stick with stock ones .When they go bad. Just buy a new set from autozone . They are lifetime warranty. That's what i did. Thanks oj

Get Raxles if you break em..

People who don't wail on their cars even at really fast ET's dont break them too often on AWD's.

That's good to hear. At least I won't have as bad of worries for those first few launches.
