anybody know how much power you can put through a volvo 740/ 760 axle

when it goes bang thats 1 bhp too much

i'd think it'd be too much torque that would kill an axle myself.

I expect they'll take a fair bit, I think they're popular with the hot-rod & drag racing boys.

its not so much just the power/torque, but the weight of the car its in too i think, isn't it?
putting 1000bhp through a car that is just made of an axle, engine and gearbox probably won't break it, but put it in a car weighing 7tons, it won't last long

I will wheel spin before it breaks the axle so no worries.
