Just don't slam the throttles all at once like you're trying to pull a skier. Ease it forward over about 2-3 seconds.

I know the question is funny, but I read allot about going easy on drives. meaning (big power) on a stock bravo I gess I was trying to rest my mind with only 320hp so if I give it some extra juice I won't feel like I'm hurting my drives ?? thanks for the heads up !!

The 6.2's do not make the kind of drive killing torque that big blocks make. Your drives should live a very long time behind them.

The 6.2's should be easy on that drive, however if you just gradually ease into the sticks stuff will last even longer for you..

yep I started with a 330hp 1st summer spun 2 props and one engine coupler, so easy into the sticks, otherwise you might be paying for couplers at 400 a piece pull the motors to change. it cost me a grand back in 1990 week of the 4th, all because someone said NAIL IT, trouble was I nailed it all spring:hitfan art
