    Mike,
    I've been running a used, no rebuild 72C Velvet Drive for several years in a 10 sec./100+ mph blown Sanger flat. It's great, we actually ski with the boat,
    and race it. It really blows the guys away who are in the water at the 'out' ramp at Ming to help you get on the trailer. I tell them nicely to get out of the way and just drive the boat slowly onto the trailer!
    There is a company in Florida (Cyborg) that exchange rebuilds them to take up to 1400 hp!! Love my transmission!!!
