700 HP/350hours with aluminum couplers. Splines look great, even after the drive locked up, twisted the input shaft on the drive, and broke the shaft that goes into the coupler in 3 pieces (forward engine with a driveshaft). Of course THAT tweaked the coupler but splines are fine. $49 lol

Make sure if you change from a short hub to a long hub, that the input shaft does not bottom out due to the taper on the shaft. I have heard of some motors being ruined when the drive was forced to seat the last 1/8" or so and it was pushing the coupler/crank forward.. Motor lasts about 3hrs that way, I am told.
