Imco SCX with SC or SCX lower?
I am ready to order some drives and for sure going SCX upper but thinking SC lower. Will SC lower hold up to 800HP? I know dual down shaft is option but expensive! SCX lowers are pretty good deal but have been told they will slow boat down considerably compared to SC. Any opinions....

The SC lower has XR gears from what I'm told, so will it hold 800 ponies ?? not sure, a lot comes into play in how its driven

Fred at IMCO told me when I did my SCX upper SC lower combo the SC lower was good for 1000HP.
I run Smith Power 800 HP motors with no problems.
Like anything how you treat it will be the final tell.all.

I am Very happy w my full SCX's. Yes I did lose some top end. BUT I have Not had any down time due to drives since I installed- Brad installed in 2013-
725+ hp- Just pulled my best speeds last week before haul for winter
Did I mention NO DOWN TIME since SCXs- Well Due TO SCXs lol

SCX with DD Lowers are really worth the money , I would go full scx for heavy boat / rough water / big Hp.
I also get the -2 , with a 2" spacer so I have some leeway to adjust propshaft height.
