How strong are CV joints on a FD?

I was wondering how strong are the CV joints? I was thinking about just getting new axels instead of upgrading everything 500$ vrs 2000$ Im shooting to be around 450hp-550hp.

Stock axles should be fine for that.

Anything above...Search: Chromoly Axels, and you can still use stock CV joints.

Above 800rwhp and you need to look into something like the DriveShaft Shop Pro-Level Axle kit.
