Stock 1G Axle Power Limits?

[DSMsamurai666]

I'm working on a build for a 93' Talon TSi AWD. I'm shooting for the 400 hp range and I might do a light shot of NOS. Will the stock axles hold ok or should I upgrade? The trans is already being rebuilt to handle the power.

i have seen dsm's with stock drivtrains hold between 400-470 hp, but i guess it all depends on how you launch or how you drive/clutch and tq.

I dont think you need to upgrade axles at that hp goal, the 1g axles are pretty beefy!! I have made countless passes down the drag strip at that HP range +more, and haven't had a problem yet!!


But your driving will play a big part in how your drivetrain holds up..

Like the above said,You should be fine unless you drive like a complete dipshit and dump the hell out of the clutch.Just smoothly slip into the launch and you should be good.

Thanks a ton guys. I won't be launching except maybe occassionally for fun. Its going to be a daily driver and I don't drive like a dumbass so I guess I should be good.
