Are you turning your drive left or right ? I have set of CMI E-tops and tubes that don't even have the new run off them yet that you can get for $2000 plus shipping

I am running it right hand right now. I have been talking to my performance shop about switching it to left. He is trying to talk me out of it. He says that a drive that has been ran right hand with high hp and then switched and ran left hand with even more hp isn't going to last long at all. He thinks run it right till it lets go then rebuild it and run it left after that. He also says that the left hand drive puts even more stress on the top cap. Is what I am being told correct?

The boat does lean a little to the left with this big of a prop witch I don't really like. Other than the lean is there any advantages to running it left?

My drive broke after about 10 hrs running left. The drive had about 210 hrs. on it with a 525efi. Coincidence? Who knows?

The jury is still out on switching after running too long in one direction however there are a lot of guys that switch every season . Coen learned that the Y2K's ride straight when you turn the drives left hand . It was discovered during all the testing on superbabi . I think after that it became standard to turn all of them left hand . Faster I don't know but you won't have to use any tabs and scrub speed .
When did you buy the race fairing from Coen ? He had one sitting there ready to ship out so I'm sure that's the one you got . Wanted one ever since I wanted a Y2K but the wife says she won't ride in it if I have it on .

FWIW, I've been swapping drives side to side with no issues in my Cig Mystique. I run them 35 hrs and swap side to side. Might as well get some life out of the back side of the gears.

Missed ya at the Shootout this year? Did you make it?
