Well stated JohnnyT. I also agree with all of your points though I couldn't write them as well. I could add that the Cummins ISB 5.9 engine falls at about 550 ft-lbs of torque just where the Banks equipped Chevrolet 8.1 engine is in your chart. The chart seems to dispel a lot of smoke about various engines since it is torque that you need to get you down the road and up the hills. It doesn't necessarily get you off the line as fast since you are not in the torque band if you have a diesel.
