I didn't even watch the video because like NC, my truck does all I ask of it and I'm happy. That's all that matters right?
I do often wonder though, with everything now days handled by computer why don't these manufactures tune these engines to hold max torque all the way to the max RPM that they set. Example, the Cummins makes 865 lbft at 1,750 I believe, If the engine can hold the cylinder pressures at that RPM then why wouldn't they at 2,900? Having the flat torque line would be a heck of a pulling engine. Cooling maybe?
