So I finally got the chance to pick up a set of slicks for my 68.  I want to see what the car has and I knew i was reaching the limit of the street tires. I am only hitting 13.2 currently with 105 mph trap. Not very fast at all I know, but I am new to the slick thing. These are obviously going to hook better than the street , hoping to be able to leave full throttle launch?

My question is do I need to worry about axles at all ? The car is basically stock weight . Factory 8 3/4 with 3.23 gears.

At your power level the stock axles should be ok
