Are 350/g35 axels different from 370/g37 axels?

Don’t know but they are listed different on the Driveshaft Shop website.

If you recall Fast Intentions broke an axle when they during one one of their runs when they were testing the prototype twin turbo build and it was on street tires I believe. It is really not that uncommon for an axle to break at the drag strip. I also believe SOHO broke one as well, they were on drag radials. I think it is a matter of rolling the dice at your power level. You can buy several set of oem axles for the price and you may never break one....or you can spend the money an not ever worry about it.

$2300/set is pretty steep

:iagree: You can go through a several sets of oem before you hit that number! I wouldn't do it unless I was well over 600 tq at the rear tires. I don't drag race so even having those kind of numbers I would not upgrade.

That's about what I paid for my front axles from RCV for my PowerWagon. That's about avg price for aftermarket axles.

Not everyone needs the pro version. Level 2 500hp are about $900 for a set (I'm guessing these would hold up at a power level where the OEM start to fail). Level 5 900 hp are about $1700 for a set. The Pro-Level 1200 hp are $2200 for a set.

That’s for the 350/G35. On the 370/G37 Page there’s only the $2,300 set.

Ok that makes more sense. I found a site that had the Level 2 and Level 5 versions listed for all four of those vehicles.
