They say 1000 rwhp, but that is a very conservative number. Many run more than that with no problems whatsoever.

I placed my order 5/27 and picked it up and installed on 7/26

He technically had it and was done 7/19 but had issues with power coating. It had ot be redone due to contamniation, and flaking off.

2 mo's is better then the 4-6 mo's some were waiting origanally, and when i ordered mine one of his main guys got in a bad motorcycle accident, but he is finally getting back to work, and lastly eric is in the process of making an addition on his shop. They should be flyin out of there soon.

Im not 100% on my exact center, but i have found 3-4 strange nodular iron's that say they are good to 1200-1600 hp.

There are some cheap ones that claim 600, but mine looks like one of the more expensive ones.

I'm talking aluminum centers when I mentioned the 1000 rwhp. The iron can take a little more.

The case in the picture is a lighter duty nodular iron "S" case not to be confused with a "Pro iron" case. The pro case is 1,000hp capable.

Yeah I am trying to decide if the aluminum or the pro nodular. The AU would be nice for weight, just wondering if it strong enough for 1000 rwhp turbo power and a trans brake.

Start a post in the gears and axles asking that question. I'll bet you the aluminum is voted to be just fine. I know Bob @ EPP is running an aluminum center section with an F1 blower and pulling wheelies without any problems whatsoever.

Thanks for the good info, if Bob isn't having issues, I doubt I will.

Nice.

I run some '99 springs with a coil cut off, and some radiator hose and no isolator... It's maybe too low for my current 325's.

I have a feeling we may do the heater hose mod, well have to see how it sits when he gets a real wheel/tire combo on it this winter.

i didnt put the kit on myself, but i have removed and reinstalled the brake once since.

that part is just screws and ***** and **** just like anything else.. but it always makes me sweat f'ing around inside an auto trans.
