My next adventure - SCX lower
 

I got tired of destroying SC lowers on my SCX drive...and found a used SCX lower...blue printed by Wilson...in the classifieds.

Testing to commence:

Chris

NIce. Any idea if a silent choice exhaust can be used on an SC or SCX drive? I did the coroplast under my bow cover BTW. Thx.

How many hrs were you getting out of the SC lowers?

A couple a season.

I have broken just about every moving part inside a SC lower....at least twice.

If I leave a 600 as stock how well do you think the xr1 lower will hold up?
What tabs did you install.
Sharp!

An XR drive will easily live behind a stock 600sci ... or a Whipple Stage III for that matter.

Dana 900 tabs...installed with the dead-rise...1.5 inches up from the bottom

P.S.

A stock 600 sci will want a 1" spacer between the upper and the stock length lower in order to reach its peak efficiency.

A stage III will want a .5" spacer.

Any updates? How did the boat handle with the SCX lower? Any speed loss or gain? How many hours do you have on the SCX lower now?

I am tired of breaking my SC drives also!

I have about 20 hours on the SCX lower now...without even a sign of metal on the magnets.

I am running it an inch higher than my SC lower...and am getting aproximately the same slip numbers.
Propshaft depth below the pad is now 2 inches....slip is aproximately 13% at top end.

My top speed went from aproximately 105mph to 103 mph...but with zero issues.

The boat handles better with the SCX lower.

Hope this helps.
