So you have other interests in addition to machining? Just kidding. That power level in that size chassis means that you will not keep up with everyone on the road. Tour buses with maybe 450 HP will pass like you are dragging the brakes. But you may find that the attention to driving necessary to keep the speed fairly constant-like when to accelerate for the next hill to prevent a ticket while coming toward it and yet not bogging down while climbing it-will keep you alert. But driving it will consume most of your attention. You did not mention the transmission. Probably an Allison 4 speed. Some of them will not handle more than the 190 HP. Often do not provide much engine braking either.
