Default Strength of my 08 axles?

I just got a set of street slicks and going to go to the track in a few weeks. How strong are the stock axles on an 08 GT?

I know they went from 28 spline on the fox body cars to 31 spline on S197's, so I would say pretty strong!

I've actually heard of the stock clutch going before anything else as you build power on the S197 cars.

I didn't have any problem with the axles on my car (with 292 RWHP and 313 torque) - less than you are running I know but the problem I had was breaking the spider gears in the Tlok with a pair of M&H Cheaters on the car.
