As I cannot afford to buy new drives I'll offer up my boat to be the test mule.
An in-depth write up can be followed here on OSO, would put a lot of "opinions" to rest I'd imagine.
When can I bring you my boat??? (one can dream right??)

Sure you can:D I had the same great idea if Ilmor decided to put out 800 V10's:drink:

You can also ask, if OL will supply you with the new 36SL to put them on. I bet you'll put many many testing hours on it. Testing two things at once, I can't see the problem with that, and they get free labour:lolhit:

Now to get BP to supply their new marine grade ethanol (doesnt exist) for free and diesel fuel for the new Pete and Hilton to supply the hotel rooms, you'd be set!

So I switched the blower pulley and turned the HP down to 700.

I was crussing yesterday at 93, on perfectly flat water, and something just gave out. I'll let you know what actually went.

I spoke to John from the bravo shop, and he says that I am trying to make the XRs do something they weren't designed to handle.

Does anyone know of a good used set of ASDs for sale?

Plus that Torco crap is no match for the magic man, NEO oil which sooths and protects those properly shimmed gears by one and only JOHN P, AKA waconda AKA "the master of disaster"!

Please tell me about your OWN experience showing that Torco is crap!

That must be what he was running in his drives when they blew almost two years ago, thats why he hates Torco. :grinser010:. Speaking of drives, are you going to put any on that boat or WHAT?
