Well, with 320 horse and 600 lb/ft torque, there isn't a need to crank it up much more. I had been looking at the 12V mech engines, but by the time I bought a parts truck and rebuilt the engine, or bought a reman from Cummins, I was very close to what I could purchase this new one for. Plus, I like the technology. It is a step forward and it is different from the norm.
The electronics do not scare me. I have swapped several late model EFI engines into early chassis', so the wiring and computer control isn't a problem.
