Well I dont know about 1000 horsepower, but I wouldnt mind more than I have now. But I worry I start tweaking the engine, the transmission (which does not like to shift as it is) will get worse. But I wont lie.....more power to get up those hills and not be doing 35 at the top wouldnt hurt my feelings at all.
Perhaps it's just unique to this truck, I dont know. But this truck does not like to shift out of 1st (automatic) until 2000-2200. If I did that to the rigs I drive (mostly Volvo & Mack with 10 speed Fullers) the damn thing wouldnt go into gear no matter what I tried. Sweet spot on the Volvos and the new Mack (2009) I drive is around 1400....not the insane 2200 that the IH wants to shift at.
