Can anyone tell me what the Max Horsepower you can put infront of a TRS drive?
Or that a TRS can handle?

In adding to that question, what about the recomended horsepower when that TRS is coupled up to a Merctrans vs a Borg tranny? Can a Merctrans be built up?

Not quite clear on what you said? Did you add 2 discs to a Merc or a BW? If a Merc, have you had any issues?

Sorry let me be more clear I added 2 clutches to BW 72C so now its a 9 disk running around 650 detuned 540's.
