I am going to answer the original question.
I would change buildcraft to add a higher tier generator, maybe something like 8 combustion engines surrounding a tank (crafting recipe) it would produce 4x the energy output of a combustion engine, have a higher internal buffer, and will run only on fuel, no coolant (and no explosions).
I just feel that BC's energy usage is a little beyond what the engines in the mod produce. Although they can keep up, with the changes to how the quarry and mining well work, they are slowed a fair amount, and better energy producers would make them as speedy as they used to be. It's a "why should I bother with combustion engines when there are better alternatives?" thing at the minute
