I'm surprised they're pushing that much more boost just to gain a few more ponies.
The added boost and air flow is likely not just for the extra ponies, but rather keeping temps in check with the extra ponies in all situations even sustained loads. Cummins tunes their engines for sustained loads, not just short burst power. If that means they are not the horsepower king then so be it. At least that was the mindset when I was there, but I doubt much has changed in that department since then. This is why all the review sites always state that the Cummins seems to be less effected by loads than the other two. Because the engine is set up and tuned for sustained power under load, not stop light pulls.
This can be tuned out with an aftermarket tuner though and ironically the max tuned power output of all three on stock parts are roughly the same at around 525 rwhp.
Ford might use as much or more boost and I have no idea where the Duramax is? My gauges are normally reading metric and so I haven't paid attention to my boost pressure. I switched it over to psi last night and see that even my 2017 Ford (925 lb ft torque) goes to about 30 psi under heavy acceleration. (The gauge is not very accurate. The only number on it is 40 psi at the end of the gauge and the "needle" looked to be about 3/4 of the way there,) I know the turbo for the 2020 Powerstroke has been upgraded.
