FX10

Gary, thats one impressive drive. Rated @ 1535 HP. With zero failures. 800 HP should be bullet proof. I'm curious how much it costs.

Rick, if that drive hits the market place successfully, it will be a serious consideration for a drive up grade for my Y2K. I already spoke with Ron Potter, with more compression I can make 925 HP, without a blower !!!!! hmmmmmm all the possibilites !!!!

925hp HMMMMM, How many cubes is that motor ? Gary you know to raise the compression mite mean new pistons. Probably more than just a head mill. That drive has to run #6 props.

Mike, the motor is 605 CI. So the X-Drive is not a direct replacement for the bravo xr ???

Potter must be really good . I thought 775-800hp was about the number for 600 inches on 93 octane. Especialy running under 5500 rpm.

Superbabi

Mike, @ 925 HP The octane would need to be 100.

I think the reason for the magic number of 800 HP is the idle quality for Bravo drives. Consider the relatively small cam in my motor for idle. You can put a monster cam in a 600ci motor and build much more power but idles at approx 12-1500 rpm.

I don't care what you all say....... Babi needs that drive. Babi needs to be Happy.

With an idle that high Id be treating that drive like a crash box and starting it in gear as much as possible.

The Potter 800 idles at 900 rpms
