I just noticed on the slips where it states Diesel 1 on the right slip and Diesel 2 on the left strip as well as a different pump number. Either way I wish I could get any fuel for $2.16 I think our regular gasoline is about $2.65 and Diesel is about $2.99 right now.
As far as more horsepower on any engine the biggest concerns are cooling system capability and transmission input abilities. If you only use the HP when you really need it no harm but if you push things the maximum all the time, you will shorten engine life.
I had several loggers (Boy am I dating myself.) that I pumped up their 8V92 Detroit engines with bigger injectors and more RPM. One of them used to run around like a sports car leaving charcoal briquettes out his pipe everywhere and the other guy drove responsibly and guess who needed an overhaul 75,000 miles sooner.
