Cat vs Powerstroke torque curves
I drew out what I expect the Powerstroke torque curve would look like relative to a Cat C11. I think it is very interesting how these curves reveal the different pulling characteristics of ...

why are you comparing an 11.1 liter engine with a 5 inch bore and a 5-1/2 stroke to a 6.7 liter engine with a 3.9 inch bore and a 4-1/4 stroke ?of course the big bore long stroke engine will have a lot of low rpm torque, kind of like comparing a big block to a small block
