    I know of a feller in Nebraska if that's in your neighborhood. He works on anything. Has a tow truck, and moves most freight types. For example he can build a reliable 725 hp 2400tq 12.7 series 60 all Detroit oem parts. When I say reliable he has his drivers behind the wheel of those.

    So he can increase the horsepower and torque the same percentage? This guy isn't just good, he's doing the impossible.

    That's just a stock program for the 14L HK engine. It does very little to the performance of a 12.7 other than the placebo effect.

    Placebo not. It gained a gear in uphill grade no problem. My fuel mpg went up a bit from before. Fuel avg for round trip from Midwest to Seattle area was about 5.5 and that was driving west with those high winds at speed limit 75 80 mph gross near 80,000.
