Inside the 1,000 lb-ft 6.7L Cummins

As I said before, most of the changes were made to keep it clean(emissions wise) and cool at stock power levels while mated to emissions equipment. Although, there is no doubt Cummins is sandbagging for future power increases as stated in the article. I would not be surprised if the power levels increased in a few years with just a "computer adjustment" to keep up with competition.

I can't wait to see what kind of power can be had with aftermarket tuning with the new turbo since the current gen 6.7L is held back at @ 525 rwhp due to the turbo running out of breath. You also don't want to push it more than that on stock head bolts. The rest of the current 6.7L engine can easily handle hundreds more hp.
