Not really. The eight clutch setup will not take that much power. Ateco is working on converting the tranmissions to 11 clutches. It requires machining and new parts. I am testing them in the MTI with 1450 hp.

BAM and Huber both offer Velvet Drive upgrades to 11 clutch discs and over 1400 ft-lbs.
A Huber 9 disc is rated at 1200 ft-lbs.
