I have a 2011 Camaro with 410 stroker 10 rib maggie with all supporting mods,with 4k stall making 732whp and 757tq on a conservative tune at 15psi and 19 degreesof timing i believe, i already swapped out my 6l80 for a 6l90 that i personally upgraded all the common failure parts. Now im trying to see if i should go truetrac locker or 1000hp axles. Im sure most or all would say both, but i will be doing one at a time. Its my daily driver, no track or dragstrip just occasionally light to light and hwy pulls. Already has 18" drag pack too. its a convertible, and if i remember right the axles are stronger or bigger in mm than the hard tops but i couldbe wrong. And if your wondering why i have a 4k stall with a maggie its because of my cam 244/266 118+4 pds blower cam that calls for 3800-5k stall lol

If your not having issues with axles I would say diff first, i have been through 3 axles in the last 2 years, and even tho I know I need to go with 1000hp axles, you don’t wanna upgrade axles and have your diff mess up. A stock axle with a lifetime warranty is a lot cheaper then a stock diff or upgraded one

leave the axles as your weak point, they are the cheapest. Once you pop one upgrade to 1LE axles. Beef your axles up and your weak point changes to the trans or diff. I know of folks running stock axles at close to 1000whp on the track. No hop = no break
