Am using the D722. Not Kubota's most powerful 3cyl but at 20lbs lighter than the next step up for only a few HP gain..... Im thinking it will push me to same speeds as the heavier more powerfull D902 engine due to the weight difference. That and I only weight 150lb soaking wet myself.
As to tweaking the engine...... It was a running Refer engine soo???? will see. Once it is running and Im confident... maybe a turn up of the IP. I don't desire anything over cruising at 75mph though. Won't reach those speeds where i live anyway even on the interstate.
If engine is running strong and can afford it... and can figure out how to pack it in there I might go Turbo or Supercharger to get more oooomph out of it without needing to go outside its power curve like turning up the IP does.
Only other thing... for engine longevity might do a tiny water/alcohol inject bottle just for purpose of cleaning engine occassionaly. Especially since I'll end up doing some blended fuels with non standard diesel /alt. derived fuels.
