Soon as I put my whipples on I will get the right size props and have them labbed. Thanks for the Input

just some friendly advice here........with whipples those XR drives will not hold up if you plan on running a lot of poker runs at WOT. Mine are the Teague Platinum XR's rated up to 900 hp and after running just a handful of poker runs I finally wasted one at the PRA season opener in Ste. Pete several weeks ago.....only @ 30 hrs. on fresh rebuilds of those drives. Don't get me wrong.....everything is going to break sooner or later but I would have thought I would have got a ton more hours out of these. I'm getting ready to tear into the other drive to see if it is showing any signs of wear also.....maybe it was just a fluke but I've come to learn that nothing replaces a #6 on those long runs between poker runs stops when running hard......I used to think it was overkill to see #6's mated to 525's....now I see the logic behind that setup.

Not trying to discourage the whipples.......they're awesome......just treat those XR's with respect

bad idea imo.. the drives or hull is not set up for that. resale will suffer also.. just keep it stock, you will be happier in the end.
