Only trouble we've had with our toploader is twisting input shafts slightly,
otherwise no problem. Have heard it said 750 hp or 600 ft/lbs should be
considered their safe limit.
Bob Gribble has supplied us with a Jerico for this year, super nice piece.
Chris H...........NZed.

  Someone recently told me the following:  Toploader trannys don't do well
  at Bonneville because of the sustation high rpm causing lack of lube to
  the needle bearings.

  Old wive's tale?  Common knowledge?

  Any info apprectiated.
