I have worked on few boats mostly Detriot Diesel and they inject huge immpossible on land amounts of fuel and still run all day and never get hot. I know that six in a row is where the simalarities between these engines end. Although the 292 does have a very respectable torque curve. I live next to Puddingstone so when I think of "hopped up" I just get a mental picture of a few 55gal drums of alcohol sitting on the end of the dock empty. \:D
