Default how much hp will a bw 72c handle

i have bw 72c's in my 35ft mistress, they have the extra plate deal done to them and i was told that they are good for 1100hp. is this true? im running #3 drives with a 1.5 to 1 ratio and will be putting 1000hp blower engines in this winter. i want to install bigger trans with the motors if the 72c's aren't going to hold up. thx for any advice, ratman

Depends on a bunch of things. Number of plates and plate material are 2 to start with. Do you have any paperwork or list of parts put in them? If you don't, who knows whats inside for parts or if they will handle extra HP.

If they were built by Tom Huber, you should have no problems. --- Jer
