Amen! We have a pair of 6v92 DDECs in our fishing boat that are set up at 635hp each by DD (max hp configuration, to my knowledge). They had to be rebuilt at 1600 and 1750 hours, and we did not run them hard, by boat standards! I think the previous owner had a heavy hand on the throttles.

I too am intrigued by the potential that may be unlocked by exploring the settings on our truck's Series 60, but also a little reluctant given our previous experience with pushing hp.
