Hello Tom,
Thanks for the help!
Top rated RPM is 3200 (my mistake, I thought it was 3500)
Max RPM in neutral is 3200. I believe it is governed.
I hit 3200 RPM on plane at about 22-23 knots..... |

If max rpm in neutral is 3200 and max rpm in gear is 3200, then you may be way underpropped and engine is being held back by governor. And yes, all diesels are governed. I thought those 6.5´s ran up..... |
