With more torque I doubt you will notice. How often do you really run 4750 rpm for extended periods?
Power curve is just a bit lower on the chart.
Lots of people seem to think a little lower RPM might be OK.
Its 42 less HP through out the curve, just not at 4750 RPM's, and the new one only has 3 more lbs of Torque if that is correct, maybe they just added the 3 lbs to make people not notice the 42 less HP, Gas motorhomes don't have lots of extra power like diesel so why have less power, I thought the HP was to go up not down, its not like the motorhomes are getting lighter.
And yes its the same ratio in 6 gear as the 5 speed trans is in 5th gear..
I will keep my 42 HP, Banks Power System and 5 star tuning and pass the new 2016's while towing going up the mountains..
Does your Banks power system include headers? How much more HP does your Banks add? How much more HP does your 5 star tuning add? Sounds like you are already ahead of the game.
Cant say for sure but conservently I would say I have 400 HP and 500 lbs of Torque but Banks rates it higher, and yes I have the Banks headers.
. You are already way ahead of the game. With 400 HP in a 32 ft MH there is not many Gas or Diesel MH 's that will pass you on a hill.
