Default do i need new axles??

my mods are in my sig PLUS i am getting lakewood 90/10, 50/50, 4cyl springs, upr upper/lower CAs, torque boxes and shift kit

i have an AOD and i plan in the future to buy a alum driveshaft and edge racing converter at around 3000 stall...after that i will prob do gt-40 heads and intake and a tfs1 cam

if i need new axles, dont i need other new parts???
also what brand do u guys recommend? i am on a pretty tight budget but i dont want somethin that is cheap and will break down the road

i am sure you meant will not.

with hard launches its always recommended to upgrade the axles and i would at least rebuild the T-lock
