I have come to believe 550... don't know where I came up with that number.

it would have to be more than that....the half shafts are the same as on the ZL1 and that car make 580hp, so you figure they would build in a margin of safety, id say at least 750

Ive heard of them breaking on minimal power gains... just like stock SS's. I believe it is based on how greedy you want to be and let the car wheel hop. Eliminate the hop and youre probably good to atleast 750.

they should be, because the 1LE is all the goodies from the ZL1 minus the supercharger and magnetic ride control.

The bearings in the rear of the 1LE are direct from the ZL1, the halfshafts are not.

Would be nice to know but it's probably like anything else.. you roll the dice

Well like all else on the car...the more power you start to add, the more stuff you are going to have to start replacing.
