Default 8.8 rearend questions

hey guys getting ready to beef up my 8.8 on 95 gt. moser 31 spline axles w/traction lok and 4:10 gears.
i was thinking about the mark williams axles since they are stronger but they dont have the c clips and i would lose my abs system. seeing its a street car with 1/4 mile duty 3-4 times a year and future 600 hp output. would the moser axles be strong enough or not. and seeing the car sees no snow and very limited rain (only if i get caught by surprise) is the abs necasary? thanks for the input.

I have never heard anything bad about moser axles I am going to use them myself and as far as the ABS goes I think thats more up to you. My dad took his ABS off of his DD truck (rain sleet and snow)and he doesnt care, he just adjusts for the conditions.

Youd also have to disable the annoying abs light too unless you can get use to it being on all the time. Moser will be fine

Only aftermarket axle I've ever seen break was a Mark Williams. Car that did it wasn't really a high HP car either.
Chevy Nova, 4 speed like a SS/K or something like that........
