George,
How about reposting this under a more appropriate subject heading so one can
find it in the forum library.

Kerry, et. al.,

Something I am familiar with is getting more performance out of the older
engines. Best bang for the buck, and simple also, is to add propane
injection. It acts as a catalyst allowing more of the diesel to burn, giving
you more power. I have used it on Detroits and Cummins, don't see why it
won't work on Cat's also. Best and cheapest system I have found is the Bull
Dog System <http://www.bullydog.com>. What you need is the "High output" kit. You
may have to talk to Mike, the inventor of the system. The salesmen don't
know the High output exists and think the system doesn't work on large
engines. It was originally designed for the P/U trucks and that is the
majority of their business. The last coach we had propane on, we had to be
careful about over running cars on the hills. I would put one on my new
coach except that it has enough power for the weight.

A dirty fuel filter can cut into your power. Replace it to test. Same with
the air filter. These buses are low on power and I'm not familiar enough
with your route to know if your experience was normal. I was down to about
28mph climbing Raton Pass a few weeks ago but that is that about 9000 ft so
there's a lot less power at that altitude. I have the 210 hp NA with an
aftermarket turbo. You may be in a situation in which the gear ratio in
your bus is taller because of the turbo but the 15 hp difference that the
turbo makes is not enough to deal with the taller gears. More experienced
voices need to address that.
