is the part the loyal gas engine folks don't like to acknowledge. Jump back 15-20 years to what is kind of the start of "modern" drivetrains.
Big fuel injected gassers, high pressure injected diesels, more than 4 cogs in a transmission....
Gas engines were HP in the mid-high 300s and TQ in the high 3s, low 400s.
Diesels were in the 300hp range and 500-600ft lbs.
Gas engines are now low to mid 400s HP and low to mid 400s TQ.
Diesels are 400-500hp and 900-1000tq.
The diesels have almost doubled in what counts for towing, torque, and the gas engines have made great strides in efficiency and notable gains, but nothing earth shattering.
They have only started putting some development into Modern Diesel engines compared to Petrol( Gas) engines, so developments will become more dramatic in the future
