Stop in for a cup of coffee

You are comparing apples to carrots. Diesel is a whole different ball game. And its well known an inline 6 gas or diesel will outperform a v8 of similar displacement. In stock form.
Fuel type wasn’t specified :poke: besides, an engine is just an air pump right?

and I’d argue even in full aftermarket trim. There’s a ton of a Cummins I6s in the 3000 hp range and have been for years. Yet the Ford and Chebby guys just now broke the 2,000 hp mark.
