[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15679163, member: 68944"] There's wheel hop. Any shaft has a chance to sheer with wheel hop present. Contrary to opinion, solid axles also wheel hop and bounce. Address the wheel hop with an ftbr 5001a complete kit with filter relocation. The bushings and pieces solidify the unit and get rid of the propensity of bouncing and hopping. They have great videos in the wheel well showing exactly what is happening. FTBR is full tilt boogie racing. They have a great website that explains all of the avenues and the science behind the break/weak points. Good luck. With a built irs cobra, people have gone 1.3x 60fts. You won't do wheelies with an IRS but who cares, they ride better and done right, hook better on real world streets. After you have the subframe optimized, the stock shafts will live a long life at 600whp. If you can pick up a pair of new s2's for $450 though, then I'd do those as they are far stronger assuming they have the stronger hub as well. I have level 5 s2 axles and hubs from 2010, and 10,000 miles of hard street driving with ~800wtq on 18" drag radials. No sidewall to absorb the shock but the shafts haven't failed yet. Mine were ~$1400 in 2010. [/QUOTE]
