Ok thanks for the help so far anyway i do appreciate it. Over here you hear people talk about 680 hp 2450ft lb of torque all the time. I assume thats just these engine destroying cals. I do not want to destroy my engine but i also want it better then standard due to the work we do. Sorry

At 1850 trq, a highway truck will last about 800k miles... at 2050 trq, it will last about 600k miles... at 2100+ .. it will last 450k miles (less than half its normal lifespan) and it drops quickly after that. High torque tortures the ISX... they do not like that much in them under operating use .. The Power can be 640~ish or so with that common rail setup .. power is not the issues as much as it is the torque.

Problem is your listening to a bunch of complete lunatics it sounds like.. that is all it is... and if you really need that much power and torque .. you should sell the engine instead of torturing it to death and buy an old yellow turd 16-litre cat motor or something that is properly rated slightly above what your requirements actually are. .. that ISX is not made for that kind of abuse!.

I can buy a drill from the local hardware store... plug it into 220Volts instead of its required 110-volts... Boy.. She'll run real good.. and drill like h#ell, some nice big holes real fast .. but the motor will burn up in no time too!.
