More power is better as long as you dont give up something else to get it.If say you wanted to go from 500 horsepower nowdays to 1000 horsepower in the big rigs.Well if you had 2 motors with 500 horsepwer hooked together that would do it,however the extra weight would do you in over time.What you need is 1000 horsepower with the same motor,and less or the same amount of fuel,which is what companies that make big diesels have done,more power,less fuel,higher gears.At some point lower and higher it starts to loose fuel mileage.35 miles per hour and you are wasteing your time.You would be broke in 2 weeks and burn 2 times the fuel,100 mph and 330 gears might be the top of 1000 horsepower economy,105 mph and you start loosing economy.Good aerodynamics is good for 1/2 to 1 mpg,but it costs you more to replace your brakes more often.Everything has its limits,but the higher the gears you have power for,the better the fuel economy.Also the most power you can get without pushing the limits of a motor say with hot water,or the verge of blowing a head gasket,or anything that would ruin the motor,so that the motor performs better and makes more power,the higher the gears you can run.Even 2 speed axles.That would be ceramic coated pistons,double turbos,header exhaust,straight pipe and synthetic oil in all boxes among other things would all make a difference.
