31 Spline Axles?

Check out the picture below. On the right hand side of the picture is the part of the rear axleshaft that goes into the carrier. The splines are on that end of the shaft. Stock GT axles have 28 splines. The 31 splines are stronger and can therefore hold more power before breaking. This extra strength comes in handy if you run at the track and leave hard with sticky tires.

The only con there is is that when replacing the axles with 31's you also have to replace the differential to accept the 31 spline axles. But if you're doing work in the rearend already, and you have the extra cash, you might as well upgrade.
