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

TRS is good for 650-700 but the merc 2 trans has a lot to do with it ...they are not good for bigg HP the BW C-72 is good for 700 !

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?
