It's been four years since I bought mine but at the time it was 950 HP and 950 TQ and 14000 lbs. I am running 720 HP through a ProCharged 454 in a 28 Velocity. Never had a problem. I broke my Bravo's by hitting the trim switch.

Call John, I know of a couple other HTMs that have similar horsepower with his drive and hold up.

Just consider your lower gears expendable and tear drive down and inspect it OFTEN. My bravo uppers with Max machine worx upgrades have held up real well and they are no where near as strong as your B-maxes but lower gears are a different story and your lowers are really no different using the same exact gears, Smitty

The gears are the same but the cyro process he uses and the oil they use which is their own blend, holds up very well. Alot better than when they used factory merc gears with no help.

The more I talk with John, the Bravo Shop owner, the more impressed I am with the changes he has made to the product.
The man has talent, knows how to use it & is spending the time & money necessary to make a product actually last.
This is not the "old" band-aid solution to Bravo failures everyone is accustom to. In all fairness, it's a totally re-engineered product.
