I am looking at doing a Veedrive installation with a pair of 1450 hp engines with a max of 2300 RPM.

But i have read that there is a loss of hp when compared to a straight drive. Is it true? If so can anyone with experience in Veedrive let me know what kind of loss/reduction in power output can i expect. Such as what kind of speed reduction for the same RPM range can i expect?

THANKS A LOT in advance!
