I was just wondering how much hp our stock axles would hold. Im about to have a fully built motor with the HRC stage 2 kit.

depends. some are more fortunate then others. Its not the actual HP that snaps them its the ocialating(sp...sorry brain fart) shock from wheel hop and other factors that finally does them in. Of course you get more when you have more torque on the whole drive system and the suspension.

sorry I cant give you a straight answer. But most get into the 250-350hp range to the wheels when they snap

whp doesn't mean squat when it comes to axles really..

i had about 270whp when i broke my first axle. i had motor mounts, lsd, stage 3 clutch, udp and of course very sticky tires.
