The bottom end is factory, and has never had the oil pan off. The truck now has over 240,000 miles with the stock MLM head gasket installed with the head, and has never had a re torque . I believe that with the right set up you break less parts. This most critical part is air flow, the head flows almost double what a stock head flows. The cam timing works with this to move air in and out, without the need for high boost; boost is just a measurement of restriction. Remember its lbs of air in and not lbs of boost that make power. Big boost brings big drive numbers and lots of retained heat.
The other key factor is efficient use of fuel. The Industrial Injection stage II pump makes enough fuel for 1100 hp, if you use correctly sized and efficient injectors. The key is to use the correct amount of fuel and burn it completely. Using unnecessary big injectors, causes the rail pressure drops, and subsequently atomization of fuel suffers and BSFC rises. To maintain rail pressure with big injector, you will need a second pump. Now with the second pump and the big injectors, you have a lot more fuel in the combustion chamber then you can burn in the amount of time before the piston travels down the bore beyond a point when the chamber is expanding faster the combustion process can continue to give push
BSFC Brake specific fuel consumption is the measurement of efficiently of the engine as related to the fuel consumed. It’s usually expressed as pounds of fuel burned per Horsepower hour
In a diesel the optimal BSFC is around .25 to .30 or for a 1000 hp engine its 250 lbs of fuel at full throttle for a hour , an at 6.5 lbs per gallon for a total of 38 GPH . or for a 10 seconds or less than 2 tenths of a cup.
Double or triple that and now you doing two things one is a smoke show, second is the extra fuel in the chamber is absorbing heat .
You can make power the other way , but why
