Ran one on my 25 Daytona with 570hp infront of it for 160 hrs.
The one thing that will kill them is heavy loading when planing off. If it lugs real bad, the torque kills the vert shaft. Trust me on that one.
I ended up running an airation tube to stop that issue.
If you don't power slam the hole shots and the drive is build correctly with good attention paid to back lash, it can live behind that motor.

The headers are lightning 's we dynoed it whit the cmi's but they have a very poor collector and bought the lightnings later for a good price we think to found another 20 hp whit them .
they point forward s because the transom is angled and they won't fit then and the engine like some exhaust length and makes more tq whit narrower pipes .

bor, does that hull have natural bow lift? You wil find the BH drive does nothing but shoot a higher rooster tale when you trim up. It takes forward speed and a natural bow lifting hull to make that drive work properly.
