    not sure about the tech stuff but i believe you have to get rid of some reverse disks or something like that.

    Hi Mike ,

    I heared a friend of mine here talking about even 12 discs is possible but you need to do some machining.

    I beileve a 32 Aerotek I know of has the 12 plate tranny...
    Not a tough job to do if you got a lathe.
    Offshore Racing wasn´t designed to be a spectator sport, it's for people or companies with's lots of money to push the envelope of endurance technology and hopefully put a trophy on a mantle. It's man vs the elements, not like boats with like engines running in circles.

    9 disc is pretty easy from everything I've read or those I've talked to. 11 and 12 disc is a lot tougher with machining involved.

    I believe any trans shop can do the 9 swap.

    How much horsepower and weight are behind the trans? I puked 2 of the 9 disc before I had Huber do mine right. 12,000 lbs, 630hp twins in the 39 Scorpion.

    I know. And they are from what I've heard.

    I was saying I had mine modified locally to the 9 disc and they puked twice. I now run the Huber 1450's, no problems.....
