I have them on a 42 Fountain with 800's Not a problem, and I run pretty hard.

Thanks GoBig for the info.I guess your the only 1 running anything close to my set up.Whipples and Max Machine drives hope they're a good but reliable combo.

We ran 540's whippled in a 35 Fountain, I ran IMCO SC's. They lasted about 40 hrs before problems set in. I think you went the right way with your project.
