my 93 is rated 145hp@2800 rpm and 265 ftlb of Torque around 1800rpm.
The Torque band is fairly FLAT and drops off at about 2900-3100 depending on the year. After about 3100 all you're doing with the engine is making NOISE and causing un-necessary wear.
Remember this engine is a LONG STROKE, SLOW SPEED "WORK" ENGINE. Think FARM TRACTOR! That's why it has all the industrial applications.
Plus I enjoy the heck out of pulling the Local Coast Guard Auxiliary Commander, his CH*** P/U, boat trailer, and 24' Bayliner out of the water, all with my little itty bitty 6 in 2WD. Drives him absolutely crazier than a RABID SQUIRREL.
