What kind of HP will a Velvet Drive take??
Just wondering what kind of HP a Velvet drive with a crusader V drive 29% OD will handle. Looking at a boat with a 502 and a 3300 Whipple Super Charger on it.
Thanks

I put 2000 hours on a 400hp 454 chevy with a BW velvet drive
In a barefoot nautique turning a 13x13 prop 1 to 1.
I ran that boat HARD with zero tranny problems.
Changed oil often and had a large sea strainer before the
Tranny fluid cooler.

There are a few things that can be done to the VD.Add clutches to the direct drum,use Kevlar plates,and shim the pressure regulator.You will have a hard time hurting one!
