1200 hp is a lot of demand for a shifting tranny and is usually crashbox territory... The Super Cyborg series from BAM is your only viable option.

Just my .02

years. Anybody out there with any history on Huber's

I'm using a BAM Super Cyborg dry sump behind 1500hp with no trans problems. Have over 100 hrs to date.

I don't think you can go wrong with either BAM or Huber. I'd talk to Tom Huber and Mark at BAM, compare and make a choice. I've been using Huber 1330's for the last 5 years with no complaints. You may want to start by looking at the Hubermarine web site to gain an understanding of what it is he does to the tranny's and go from there. Just tryin to help.

You would want Huber's Kryptonite series with the increased # of clutch packs. Tom is great to work with.

I'm running Hubers with 1050 hp and no problems. However I think 1200 may be a different animal as My friends with 1200 have had problems. I am building some 1200/1400's and have been very concerned. I were going to purchase something new I think it would be a shiftable crashbox. I talked with them yesterday and they sounded great, Also you can get the shifters set up to were you shift just like a tranny, No switches,

Call MArc at BAM. They are now building the trans for Mercury 1075. HE is great to work with and great pricing. I''ve hav 5 racing seasons of a set or super cyborgs with 1000Hp behind them. If you need help with crashboxes he's your man also. Should have some on the shelf. Not good idea for pleasure application though. 954-545-8681 tell him Andy from Rascal Racing sent you.
