Arneson also has a year warranty on the Bravo conversion when used in the the proper application.

So if I'm reading this correct the Arneson/Bravo conversions are
$23,125 each? $46250.00 for 2. That's 6.6 XR drives at $7K ea. I've blown 2 XR's in the last 2 years, now I'm at $14000. I just wish they were more affordable for the aftermarket.

Plus misc. but you wouldn't have to worry about breaking them and you'll likely be faster and get better fuel milage.

Great read on the new drive. Just wish there was more testing data out there on the -4's to make a decision. I too thought about going with the new SCX's -4s until I found a set of slightly used ASD-7s for sale. FYI, I am in the process of having a 38 Donzi ZRC converted from side-by-side Bravo set up to staggered Arneson ASD-7s. I'll be posting updates as it progresses to let everyone know how it turns out.

Hope someone gets a set of -4 IMCO's on a twin V soon for a before and after comparison.
