350 HP ICE vs. 350 HP Diesel?

Let's get back to the OP's question...350hp Gas v 350hp diesel. The Hemi vs Cummins test pits 410 vs 385HP and the gearing and trannys are different. Hook both up to a trailer with a load of 15,000 pounds and let's see who can climb an 8% grade. That's where the torque commes into play. The biggest difference is that the Hemi makes it's power at about 4500-6000 RPMs while the Cummins makes it's peak torque around 1800-2000 RPMS. Diesels are designed to run literally all day at close to peak RPMs, gas motors not so much. That's why they wear out quicker. I repowered a fishing boats I once had with brand new Volvo 220hp diesels. The technician told me to run them wide open until they reached max rpm, then back off 200 RPMs as the proper cruising speed. I dare say nobody except a NASCAR driver is going to run a gas engine like that and have it survive very long. I put 5000 hours on those engines before selling the boat, and they were still running like new.
