If it was me I would be talking to these guys on my drive needs. I have heard nothing but good. Not cheap but neither is IMCO and there are others here on the board that had not so good luck from IMCO. Just my .02.

750 HP on a stock bravo XR is not a good idea.

You can, also, contact Dick Tryce ( Mr. Gadgets ) on the board. I believe he is a charter OSO'er and does fantastic work. He can do the XZ upgrade and will even blueprint the upper to bring the gears into proper tolerances.

I just spoke with Jason and he says he will put his drives upto IMCO, TEAGUE etc..

So he definitely has a very nice drive and he is local, but he also wants my drive and around $8500.

I can buy a brand new drive from Teague XR for $8500 and still have my drive or maybe go with someone on the board who has a drive ready to go or upgrade mine.

I am now going to try and contact both Mr. Gadgets and merlin540.

Stay tuned... I know someone else on this board had to be thinking of upgrading their drives.

Krumbsnatcher,
Give me a call, we can discuss the pro's and con's of both routes, new vers upgrade.

616-335-8446

During the week I hit it early, have to be up at 4am for work everyday. I will be around this weekend, so if you want, give me a ring. No matter if you have me or someone else do your drive, setup is one of the most important issues that must be addressed with your level of power..

Dick
