You see, this is why I say it is deceptive when advertising short burst power. People think the other makes that advertise a more sustainable power rating when using the truck as intended need to "catch up" even though those other makes can do the same by tuning the engine to 475 or even 500 hp and then drop it down anytime these is a load on on the truck.
It is no different than 4x4Ford chastising me in another thread for saying I tow in my 475 rwhp tune because he thought it was deceptive to other people thinking I can sustain that power rating at max engine load, which I already explained that I could not and only call it the 475 hp tune because that is what it dynoed at. I guess Ford gets a pass on being deceptive since it is his favorite brand, however, how dare I say a Cummins makes 475 hp at the wheels, but gets backed down under max engine load for long periods of time.
