Has anyone had any experience with "chipping" up a cummins 5.9L 230hp QSB engine from 230-380hp? According to the engine specs it's a doable feature of the engine. iThere are things that have to be done, you have to have a larger: shaft, strainer, and RACORs and a heavier duty transmission. Then at the time of the upgrade, you adjust the pitch on the prop. The 230 block and the 380 block are exactly the same and has the same CPL#. So, mostly it's an electronic upgrade with a prop adjustment. Theoretically, I have confirmation it can be done. I'm just wondering who's physically done it and how did it work out? Did it affect your engine dependability or longevity?
Thanks for the input.
