Default Axle upgrade

Just curious how many guys/gals with big whp/wtq are running the OE axles?

I'm considering making the change, but, figured I'd ask the question first.

Thanks!

Im an M7 making 840/750 on stock axles. If/when they break, Ill replace them with DSS. But so far, they are holding up fine. I've heard of some guys going through axels like crazy at 800+whp though so who knows.

Thanks for the info. We're an A8 with 760/780 and I leave of the brake. Installed an MSD 2 Step over the Winter so we'll hope for the best. We drive to the track so breaking an axle would be a PITA. Thanks again!
