If you use it right the power output from the the radio is lower than factory settings for a cb set and lower than spec for exports. The finals are safe. Cranking up the power to 11 defeats the purpose of installing it because the audio will sound like poo.
The only people that think the voltage of the external power supply is a problem have trouble comprehending high level modulation. From experience I will tell you that one of the opamps on the board will croak long before the final in a cobra 148.
The am regulator on the board will run cooler on a cobra 25/29 with a bipolar final. A lot of ssb rigs run the final in class B in AM mode. The instructions with the asymod tell you how to change it to class C like an AM only rig would be.
