Also maybe it's good that the axles are the weak part, because if you always would need a new gearbox or differential this might be much more expensive journey.

Yeah from the research i'm doing the factory axles "should" be good for about 550HP, but considering I am trying to get the car tuned and will be making very close to that number I really need to find a better solution. The good news is that used gearboxes are fairly cheap so if that breaks I can get one for like $1200, cheaper then upgraded axles!

Oh yeah so the #1 company on the list for upgraded driveshafts quoted about $3500 for a custom set of axles. F-that. i'll break a few dozen more cheap ones for that price. UGH.
