WRONG! There are tons of factory 500+ horsepower motors out there and they are perfectly legal. I have a 525 in mine from the factory and was considering getting a new truck with a 600 but my truck is still like new and who needs a payment?


I don't know where you heard that but it is not true!

Its still a valid question, not too many people doing it me thinks. Also, I recall Pittsburh Power having problems developing ISX version of The Box, took them quite longer than for other engines.
They were saying ECM is too advanced/complicated and at some point even were asking O/Os to come and let get installed some recording devices on the engine and run it like that for some time so they can later download logged data and figure it out.

Depends on what CPL. The highest onroad ISM rating was straight 425 1450 IIRC in a vocational rating, all the other were multi-torque ratings. RV/Firetruck could go to 500 but there are factory marine programs to around 850HP depending on what year M11/ISM.

From what I know, there was no higher rating back then...?
