That 30psi of boost probably helps. Note that he went from ~200rwhp to ~250rwhp by increasing boost and the pump rev limit. Still no IC.

I have a suspicion that the crossover-tube on the 603t will result in a serious restriction to high flow rates, would like to see that go away first. Still, hard to argue with that kind of boost=power w/o high EGTs, is it just a function if higher RPM? I had a CAT engine in a motorhome years ago, turned up the high-idle to allow full-fueling at max. RPM, gained a lot of climbing power (but never dynoed it). That plus the simple fact that HP is a function of torque and RPM, if you can gain 20% more RPM without losing any torque, you've gained 20% more HP.
