This one is for you Cow

No variant of the 12V92 was ever installed by Mack, or any other manufacturer, in a roadgoing vehicle. Detroit never bothered to get it certified, since it was designed for use in stationary and marine applications. The 12V71 was as big as it got. Those were rare as hell, even when new. They were replaced as the top-dog roadgoing Detroit by the 8V92T.

12V92TTA? Its badder big brother, the 16V92TTA, was rated at 880-900HP, still shy of the little 5.9L in the article, and only made ~360lb/ft more torque with its extra 18.2 liters of displacement (and additional 3000+lb of mass). :bwuhaha:

True about the number differences, but that poor little 5.9 will not last for years under the conditions required to pump out those numbers. :)

I don't know what it is about some of these 1st Gen cummins owners....especially the newb's that show up on the 1st Gen boards I'm on, but they all want to see 300-350HP out of there motors. Guess it's "my dick is bigger then your dick" mentality....;) But on the VE injection pump 89-93 5.9 cummins the Max HP seems to be around 400 hp without some seriously costly one off machined parts for the IP, motor mods and fuel system upgrades. You can make a lot more power with the 2nd Gen P-pump (P7100) injection pump system right out of the box. ;)
