Gas or Diesel

The V10 gasser is already engineered to have a broad relatively flat torque curve for truck use. All it needs to complete the picture is a turbo for mountain use.
So true. And it wouldn't really need "boost", just enough turbo to maintain sea level manifold pressure at elevation.
On the other hand, 15psi of boost would have a 6.8 liter engine acting like a 13.6 liter (830 cubic inch) NA. That'd certainly be fun... :)
And would gobble fuel like a drunken sailor. :R At around 475 HP my engine eats about 1 gallon/ 1/4 mile run at WOT.
