Cat 3126

Just bought a baby Freightliner FL60 with a 3126 and a fuller 5 speed, GVW of 25,500 and I am going to be running 25,000-25,500 consant across the country, Engine manual lists that thiis motor is rated from 180-335 hp with ours at 210. Any ideas how or what to do to "bomb" or is it worth it for reliabilty/MPG etc.

CAT website like TDR?
