Who's running a #6 in a single engine application
 

I am going to have my 540 with Whipple 5.0L upgraded over the winter, I am looking @ upgrading my Max Machine Worxs drive and going with a #6 drive. Is there anyone running this in a single engine cat, pros, cons, what should I expect, will I benifit by going this rout, will it be worth the upgrade, just waying my options, I thought about going with the IMCO SCX but I just don't think it would hold up...any input would be greatly appreciated:drink:

There is a 26 eliminator that graces the classifieds from time to time....i know its not the only one.

Masher had a single #6 on Slim Shady with just under 1000hp running through it. Maybe he will chime in and give you his input.

rod tsfigurre (scorcerer ) had one on a 26 talon .look for a thread on here

Has any one run a #6 on a htm sr24

You may want to do some research on the new "indy" and the conrad.

The conrad is pretty much bullet proof. I read alot about the new Indy.. That will hold some big power as well and not rob alot of HP to use!! I heard $ for $ the indy and the conrad are much cheaper then the #6 for the complete set up.. Also the # 6 is not bullet proof either just a lot more reliable for big power and heavier hulls Did you consider and Arneson or a surface drive? Rik at Arneson can really hook you up too. #6 uses a lot of HP to run!!


Good luck and post what you do

I talked to the guy that had a 26 Daytona with a #6 and 1200HP. He said it porposed like crazy. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Looked into the Arneson, but its not a simple swap, I would have to add on to the center pod, and it looks like it would be a pain to deal with, don't get me wrong I like my MMW but would love a little more peace of mind, with a better drive, looked @ Konrad, but not a bolt on replacemnt, not sure of the Indy, it i a beautiful drive, the Xpower drive won't work, the drive needs some tweeking to run on a single cat, already had a friend try one gave it back, it wouldn;t work on his cat...at all..:eek:

"commander112" went from Bravo blues to a Number V drive (5, not a 6); on his Commander cat. (1300HP or something close to it)

It took a lot of dialing in and work. He had to move the engine forward & redo the transom, and a bunch of other stuff. When it was all done; he sold it for a stock powered 28AT.

Keep it stock (or mild) and go boating on the weekend;
or make it radical and go wrenching on the weekend.

what kinda of pwr are you running?
I think the SCX is rated for 900/900 or close to it.
