    Hey guys i am looking for some advice on what cv axles to go with i am doing a cam build/ complete rebuild and getting a TEP and also going to replace my cv axles also and and wondering which would be the best because i don't want to buy something that i have a chance of breaking or something that the boot is going to come off on.

    lol.... so awesome.

    Will you be running slicks?

    under 400 whp and above 300... GM's are decent, but vendor improved ones might be a good idea with slicks.

    the stage 1 axles from zzp have grease ports on them which i think is an awesome idea. regreasing them would help out tons.

    cv axles like to snap.... they really do if you've got gobs of torque and slicks.
