Both engines can easily and reliably make well over factory power levels
I hear this statement from time to time but I have to ask why did Cummins change the internals to handle the 1,000 ft/lbs. I would have expected no internal changes if this were true.
Oh save your breath, Shiner will never admit different power output has any effect on engine durability.
He'll tell you because the stock internals can handle 850hp, an ISB has identical service life from 250hp to 849hp. Stronger connecting rods are strictly for emissions...
