As far as absolute limits, I don't know, but Volvo had a 7.4 Gsi that was rated at 405 HP and an 8.2 Gsi that was 435 HP that were both mated to that style DPX drive.

That was probably the DPS drive. The DPX is a totally different animal. The DPX was their racing/performance drive that came with their 500 and 600 hp packages. So, I would assume the claimed max hp would be 600hp, but I'm sure it could take more. Very tough drive with built in external steering!

I knew they mated a few up with their 502s but I didn't know they mated them with any 454s.
I know most of them were used in their 500 and 600 hp packages.
Like I said, they are a very tough drive. They were used on all the Batboats. Like Tomcat said you're gonna need more prop.
