These are my new driveshaft.com stage 5 axles. Good for up to 900hp. Look in the second picture and see the difference in the axle nut. That pic tells all. Hopefully this will be my last set of axles. The ring gear is on it's way. Once it's here i will post pics of the whole set up and the price of what it will take for me to achieve my goals of single digits.

They are only good to 800hp. Also, the nuts look wack. I need to trim the end of my axles so that my ITR center caps will fit over the opening in the rim, but my axles have been on the car for a while and I don't wanna remove them. Those axles should hold, but keep your receipt cause I know people that still break them.

Did you get the ring gear or did you get the tranny cradle?

I have heard 800-900hp. I think it's 900 at the crank or 800whp. I was told these axles wont break on a 26 inck slick. If they do i can get them covered under warranty. Why do the nuts looks wack? The stock one is hammered up but only there for a reference to how much bigger the new ones are. I also forgot to mention this set up does also come with new hubs to fit those monster splines but they are already installed on the car. I ordered the prodrive ring gear. Hopefully that will work and it will hold togther.

I have had the same setup on my car for a while now. I wasn't referring to your nuts looking wack(lol..read that again). I was saying that the DSS nuts look funning on my car cause they are so big. That prodrive gear is bank. All in the preloading.

I see. That sucks you have to cut your caps for them to fit. Do you have a upgraded ring gear yet? I'm tired of breaking.That is why i held out on not going back to the track untill i got mine. Hydro trannys are getting expensive.

I actually have to cut the ends of the axles....they protrude out like 2 inches from the end. I am still running the OE final. Knock on wood, since I machined the teeth off most of my ebrake to use it like a staging brake...no breakage for me yet. Breakage sucks. good luck.

Btw, did you just get the ring gear, or did you also get the countershaft with it?
