Bottom line the higher HP "tuned Cummin is a much better daily driver and towing up a major incline the performance is essentially the same.
I will agree there, higher horsepower is a much better daily driver. I mean, my 450 hp at the wheels tune is fun and all, but the 500 hp at the wheels tune jut puts a bigger smile on your face. Higher horsepower and a reliable CP3, I got the best of both worlds. :B
