That's because the 6.2/6.5 engine has a bottom end that is not really designed for much more power over stock HP. Yes you can add propane injection and slap on a bigger turbo and significantly increase the power, but the engine likely won't last long. But in stock form and especially at the 150 hp level and less, these engines can last forever.
