1. First rendition didn't produce tremendous power.  
   More like 480-500.  This is normal :)

2. 900 HP?  For my truck motor (400+cid twinturbo efi 
   stroker) the goal is gas-based torque for towing.
   While not a diesel engine, my goal was to have a
   low-rpm towing machine, shove it in my work truck,
   attach a 5th wheel hitch, and tow :)

3. 900HP is an unrealistic goal.  However setting unrealistic goals in power
is not necessarily a bad thing.  By not reaching a particular goal, one can
then rethink, think outside the box, and try something.  The stroker we
built was mathematically calculated and several others on a particular list
actually confirmed the math was more or less correct, in the ballpark.  Then
building it, we actually got in the ball park of the goal.  And if we kept
the RPMs down, it would have held together.  But that's okay, we learned a
very expensive lesson.
