Just launch careful and you will get some life out of the axles... preload them nicely and dont just plain drop the clutch. If you are going to be serious about drag racing, make sure you bring a spare axle and tools to the track, or a trailer.

I've never seen a 350/370 launch hard with slicks on stock axles. The guys at dss (who built my axles/driveshaft) don't recommend the stock axles for slicks at any power level. Most guys I know go to aftermarket assemblies not far beyond 400, even on just dr's.
There are two types of cv click, and frankly, neither is normal. One DOES often happen in stock cars though.
