who has broke a scx imco drive?
I know that imco rates them around 900 hp.I would like to know at what hp are people pushing them to.Has anybody tried pushing them past 1200 hp?

Pretty sure 26 Redline blew one on his cat. At least I think he has an SCX, I can't keep up with all the acronyms. PM him or read through all the Desert Storm threads.

I have put a SCX upper with a SC lower behind a Magic cat with a 1203 hp 598 in front of it.. with no problems shifting or otherwise. It shifts extremely smoothly.
I ran my SCX upper/ SC lower on my Heat behind 750hp with no problems and smooth shifting. I lost zero speed as compared to my SC upper.
I just re-installed my 600sci, Stage VI whipple motor which dynoed at 960 hp in the boat, and will let you guys know how it goes.... so far...so good.

I ordered mine I was going to order the complete SCX but after IMCO said I would likely lose 5mph at the speeds I expect I just ordered the upper. I am putting my -3 lower on it. I talked to Brett@BBLades before making the decision, he assured me we could make a prop work well. He is cutting me down a test prop and sending it my way ASAP. So yes you can mate a -3 to the stock upper. I think he said a 14 3/4 diam would work but don't quote me, he said 1/8" is min and would like to see 1/4" between the prop and cav plate.
