Re: 92 Blue Bird Highway speeds by Jerry
Post New Message In reply to your question, dont worry about the power once you up the gearing.
The guy who talked about melting a piston is correctif you go to extremes, but that engine is offered at 360 HP right from Cummins.

If you want some details on increasing your power output without hurting the thing, send me an email. It is cheaper than most think, will not damage the engine in any way (you install a set of guages to monitor the EGT's to prevent any damage if you go up past 320 HP) and will not harm either of the two transmissions you could have, since they are both designed to take this power easily.

I run my cummins B series at 42PSI out of the turbo on a regular basis. I have 370 HP (at the rear wheels) and a torque rating that you would not believe. The motor just rolled over 392,000 miles. Trust me, they will deal with it and then some.
