I dont remember the exact number, but theres an OG member that used to post alot here by the name of Rafael. Him and Onpol built a couple of crazy tibs and I remember that Raf had snapped an axel at the track. I dont know what his power rating was, but I do know he was running slicks on the car when it happened.

Tim snapped an axle with as little as 350hp I think. He wasn't running an LSD. You could probably get to at least 450hp with one. By then, you could afford to build axles.
