Busting drives with 500s. I know tons of people with 500 to 750s with stock bravos and do not brake them. I have 210hrs on a pair and I ran 16 big poker runs in big water. Its all in the throttle.

We've got customers with custom B-Max's with 1000 HP running through them for over a year without issue. I'd be happy to build some for you.

I have run mine for two years now, 572 big block with twin turbos. I am running 17# boost with race gas for special occassions, thats about 1600 hp. Bravo with all the trick **** would last about 45 min to 4 hours. Dean has built a great drive!

I am running B-max's on a 43' NORTECH V(about 14,000#) with twin 730hp motors with 740 ft-lb of torque. This is probably the most extreme B-Max application at about 7,000 lb/drive. I had some problems last year with drive shaft failures but Dean and NORTECH took care of them and all the drives now have the new beefed up drive shafts. I have about 60hr on the drives w/ the new shafts and have had no problems. A good portion of those hours have been during Poker Runs with hard running with 6 to people on board!

500 efi's run the Bravo's XR's - Big Power run the B-Max. I put 120 hours on the Bravo's - 13,000 Cigarette - rebuilt them before The Worlds , I'm hoping for another 120 hours. BH
