Okay....... Here is what I know....
28 spline axles in a 3200lb car are good to 200.445mph at Maxton ,they are
good to 205.878 mph at Muroc and 228.304 mph on the salt in a 3800lb
car....... Yes I am sure they will fail.... if you ever get any real
traction .... with large tires...that are VERY STICKY
I agree with Joe's comments on Bullet Proof..... yeah there are a ton
better axles out there and I am going to install a set this year.... BUT as
often as I swap gears and look at these axles.... I have NEVER seen the
slightest thing to tell me they are BAD AXLES.... I am swapping mine
simply to make the car more bullet proof.... not because I personally think
they will fail.... I don't.... I just expect a BIG number pass next year
and want the car to have Zero issues...
I know it's only my opinion.... but if your looking to spend money just to
spend it you have picked a right place.... but based on the real answer
here Bill....I honestly dont' think you need them.... we have run over
750 hp with 200+ of that coming from a Nitrous hit and never had the first
moments problem with these.
