My Cummins is governed to 2150 rpm and produces 250hp at that RPM. It is M1 and can run there 24 hours (which I don't ever do except for testing as the fuel burn is breathtaking). My friend has two identical engines rated at 420 hp at 2800 rpm but only for a couple of hours. I suppose I could claim "I have a Diamond Series Cummins derated to 250 hp."
