Default HP ratings for drives

Is there any ratings for horsepower for the different drives on say a 38' Top Gun (size & weight)??

TRS
Bravo 1
xz
xr
imco
ssm 3(a)
4
5
6

I'm looking to put 700 Hp through one these drives-- I have a good feeling which ones will work and which won't-- Keep in mind I will be pushing it every so often
Also what it would take to upgrade to the next level.
I've been told to stay away from arnesons for several reasons-- not all I believe--
Thanx for any input

Guess it depends on your abilities on the sticks but for TRS I have been told they are VERY reliable up to 550hp and reliable up to 650 or so. I know a few people that are running more then that and no problems.

I`m presently running @700 hp with TRS drives. I`ve had some lower gear failures but it was because of improper shimming.

I`m now running the Cryo treated gears and had no failures since. racked up about 60 hrs with them last season.
