Default Volvo DPX horsepower rating?

Does anyone know the horsepower capability of this drive? I have a 2000 campion chase 910 which runs 71mph on gps with 3/4 tank of fuel. I am looking at installing a procharger. At the moment I have a 500hp with cmi headers and computer re programmed giving me a true 525hp at the prop.

You will brake the upper if you procharger. The upper is going to be your weak spot, specialy turning two props!!

Can you bolt a Merc XR on?? Still not the best, but lots around, and easier to repair.

I Whippled my engine and got one tank of fuel through it before I broke my drive. I now have an XR......and am driving a little easier :-)

Take it easy on holeshots and re-entry and that drive should last. Going to any Bravo drive would be a step backwards IMO.
