We run a Banks programer on our Cummins 350 ISC. after 40,000 miles over the amount of fuel we have bought the coach has delivered 9.5 miles per gallon. the fuel used by the get-set is in that milage. we seldom see any added horse power, but if you stand on it long enough it will run the EGT into the red arc.
I've never seen it over heat the engine, even on Mt Washington pass on #20 north cascades highway's long grade into Rainey pass, never any black smoke. the EGTs will run about 1300 degrees at full throttle. my normal speed on the freeways is 65, set the cruise at 65, put the transmission in Economy and let the computer drive it.
