I'm installing a complete front and rear suspension on the sled this spring along with some full length subframe connectors and.........of course............the all important 4:10 gears. My question is, how much power can the stock 28 spline axles and rear diff carrier handle? I don't do "clutch dumps" with the car, I have not been to the track with it (yet), and will use the vehicle primarily for some weekend fun and nice country drives. I almost forgot, I will also be upgrading my rear tires to those all popular 315/35 series, no drag radials though. Will I be ok retaining the original carrier? The vehicle only has 39k on it and currently no issues with "one wheel peels"

Thanks.

It is pretty commonly accepted that the stock 4.6 2V is good for around 400 HP, so would figure this is a high number for the driveline.

With that said, it is possible to snap an axle with 100 lbs of torque if you have enough grip. At that point, you also need to be worried about trans, clutch and diff of course. If you plan on going to the track, I would look into a heavy-duty items all through the driveline. If you drag it long enough, something will give
