They need that made from 4340 or better.
Making the outer out of it does not fix the problem. Why are not both made from it if it's a "Stage 2"
Making the outer piece from 4340 does nothing by itself!
THis is what their website said- This is our 300HP axle set for the Contour and Mondeo. designed for 300HP (maybe more) they are one solid set, center bars made from a high grade chrome moly designed to have more torsional twist (from our special heat treat) they are ready when you are. Using a different heat treat on the outer c.v. and using our oversized inner tripod these axles are ready. This axle can also be ordered in a special Road/Rally version. What we do it carefully polish and match the internals and use a special grease with vented boots (road/rally is an extra $100.00) email or call for ordering the road/rally system.
So, they apparently use an oversized inner tripod? Does that even help? I know of only BurritaSVT destroying these, but once again, that goes back to the shock coefficient Stazi was mentioning. . .sounds like no one could put slicks with 400+hp without destroying these axles. . . I'll go to the track with Tom when he's back to see if they can handle it, but I'm a bit leary. . .sounds like I'd have to baby the frist two gears and then play catch up on 3rd and 4th. . .
