950 HP Seatek burns around 45 gallon/H
Notice how flat the torque curve is with its twin turbos.
No need to re invent the wheel here, its all been done before.
Seatek and Issotta have been building custom high performance marine diesel engines for years, not truck engines marinised as many would like you to believe.
These engines have been specificity developed over years of class 1 offshore and endurance racing in Europe were they dominated the racing scene especially when coupled to Weismann multi speed transmissions.
Some teams were rumored to be pushing over 1400hp per motor.
Speeds in mid to late 90s were in excess 145 mph with the average endurance race being held over 200 miles+
Yes the engines might be a little heavier but there is a good reason for this, they are designed and built to handle high HP and high torque without failure for hundreds of miles of flat out operation.

Check out Matt Alcone chasing down the Diesels and Lamborghinis back in 99
Not much in it between all three power plants considering the different technologies.

Talked to Seatek when I built my Allblack SL 44 and they said 950,s should be ok for longruns.. 825,s even better..
There are 6 x Seatek 1200 for sale here in Sweden. The guy bought them from Victory Team.
