Stock Axle Question

So my latest round of mods have put me real close to 900RWP! I replaced the driveshaft with a DSS chrome moly unit with a BMR loop. My question is when do I need to be concerned about the stock axles in a 2018ZL1? I am running a 17 inch rear with a M/T ET Street R tire. Really like to keep ahead of the weakest link!

I broke my passenger side on my 2nd pass after my last round of mods. Car makes 780whp.

I now have GFORCE axles

That's what I was afraid of! Thanks for the response!

What type of tire and activity when that happened? I assume DR/Slick and drag racing on prepped surface?

In your tune did they reduce or disable torque management to the point where the tune permitted the damage to occur instead of preventing it?

If you are asking me? I was on 305/45/17 MT ET street R, PSI at 18, prepped surface (when car broke 100’ from the line, I got out to look under the car and my shoes were pretty much sliding off my feet with every step). I have no idea about how the tune to the trans was done other than that it was done. But, now that you bring that up, I will have to check on that.
