GOOD STUFF DEESUN. working in the ports i have been lucky enough to see some of these engines.they are 3 story's high i think they're rev range is something like 2rpm - 80rpm. the ships normally have about 5 smaller generator engines as well each about 1/5th the size of the main. equally impressive they produce enough electricity to supply the sydney cbd. thes things are incredible .good post

How much more power can I get out of it from a Dev5 cam?

Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Now thats some serious pulling power.

at 102rpm you would probably have to change the proppelor pitch now the ship would have some balls . imagine a container ship lifting its front out of the water and kicken *** ! ha ha ha
