Do I need new U joints?

[Turbo6Smackdown]

on a stock, or close to stock setup, (stock IC, injectors, turbo and heads in my case) I want to know, on some real sticky tires, with race gas and about 17lbs, with S10 cylinders and big pads, is it possible to launch too hard, and snap the stock u joints? (maybe the shaft, or an axel too?) Had an acquaintence do it to their low miles stock gn, and I was wondering if im at risk as well.

If they are stock.. replace them now.. bring a torch with you. and burn out the 'PLASTIC " out the the ends... then press them off... get some 1350 Splicers for the new U joints..

I heard those are the standards for our car. but i seen somewhere that those are big, and go to a bigger someorother. (i hope i read that wrong) are those spicers a drop in fit? can i just buy em and bolt?
