Torque vs. Horsepower
My '06 Beaver Patriot Thunder has a C-13 Cat rated at 525hp. The guy parked next to me last week had a similar size MH (looked like a Prevost but wasn't). It also had a Cat C-13 but it was rated at 47...

Nobody mentions that Cat 'gives' the power it thinks the chassis can cool,the better they think the cooling system is the higher they will set the power.
Check out marine installations ,much much higher power and boats are always going uphill.
Common across the industry. Same goes for Cummins. In marine applications where cooling capacity is infinite and engine load is much more constant, AND emission standards are lower, indeed power is higher than in on-highway applications.
OK the OP asked if the power can be changed ?He was comparing his installation to another different builder ,its possible his at the limit for his chassis and the other has a higher capacity cooling system?
apples and oranges but still fruit ?
