Yes, but Mod did not wanted ANY modifications to the back of the Cr3 hull, that is why 9a got stuck.
It can be understood as: Because the 9A does not modify the heat dissipation cooling system, the power will be maintained at 1200 horsepower to maintain stable operation, or will there be a new cooling system that does not need to modify the back of the hull in the future mass production model?
Some time ago there were 3 options. 1 leave it at 1200, 2 keep te current cooling and with other upgrades and reach 1350, 3 make a new cooling and get 1500. As of currently we have no idea what was chosen.

Well, then wait and see if the new pre-production model will reveal more information (I personally really hope it can have a real 1500 horsepower engine)
Drummond is wrong here

From the CV12 TCA MK8A upgrade, it can be seen that compared with the CV12 TCA Mk6A, the Mk8A has a slightly larger turbocharger, a higher compression ratio and fuel injection pressure, and an increased hydraulic drive cooling fan device. Then if 9A wants higher power, the conditions mentioned in the appeal are always indispensable.Moreover, Caterpillar previously said at the IAV2019 conference that it has developed a new Perkins CV12 CR (Common Rail) engine for Challenger 2, which adopts a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system, which improves the output power and reaches 1500 horsepower, so the previous conclusion can be drawn.
It looks like the first pre-production CR3 hasn’t had any changes to the cooling vents/hull rear: x.com
Yes, as i said
After all it is only the 1st proto, out of 6? 7? I forgot how much of they they are planning to make.

A couple other angles but it’s difficult to see detail in any of them
