A thread like this would not be complete without asking a "theory of operation" question. If an 8V71 is topping out at 2100 rpm no load; is there any advantage other than higher top speed, to increasing the max no load speed to perhaps 2300? Anytime the throttle pedal is fully depressed; if the engine isn't at max rpm, the governor goes wide open to get the engine to the desired throttle setting and then once that new throttle setting is achieved, the governor reduces fuel to maintain that speed. So does increasing the max no load rpm improve performance or just increase the top speed?
