Wouldn't you expect a naturally aspirated engine to be at a much greater disadvantage than a turboed engine at higher elevation?
Yes, and I stated that it was impressive multiple times in this thread. However, I was just commenting on Fish's post were he said the 7.3L almost had the same time as the GM and Ram diesel pulling the same weight. I was merely stating that this was due to the 60 mph speed limit and that even the new Powerstroke would have a similar time due to the max speed of the test. All three diesels would likely be able to accelerate past 60 mph especially at the bottom of the hill. The 7.3L on the other hand was giving it all it had just to get close to 60 mph. Not saying it isn't impressive because it is.

Edit: How are you comming up with a starting elevation of 8835 ft? The elevation of Silverthorn is 9035 and Dillon is about 9100 ft.
Look at it in Google Maps in bicycle mode.
