What kind of power would you need before you would have to upgrade either your rear or your axles? obviously I am far from that but I might as well ask while the topic is being discussed

I read somthing somewhere, probably MM&FF mag that said the 28 spline rear axles are good for up to 300 HP or so before you need to be thinking about getting larger ones. and the rear itself is plenty tough, especially if you get the axle tubes fully welded to the center section.
