Well I don’t know if this clears things up for you but ,New diesels are all turbo charged , they are not super charged, you could put a turbo on the mustang and get serious proformance too.
However ,burn8ng rubber with 8000 lb trucks is not practical the mostly come with 600 hp and like 800-900 lbs torque.
Now you can add on tuners of your own purchasing and turn the power up on compute4 controlled diesels.
The more HP the less fuel economy,more stress and less engine life.
An 600 diesel would be around 1,200. With my 500+rwhp tune, I am around 1,100rwtq.
Also, more hp does not always mean less fuel economy or less engine life. If you delete ad engine then not only are you adding power and greater fuel economy, but you are also adding to the life of the engine since it no longer has to regen which causes fuel dilution in the oil. I think you are also applying gasoline engine physics to a diesel engine. You can add more hp with better more efficient air mods(intercooler, turbo, air horn) that increase power and efficiency.
Case in point is my truck. Before tuning, I was averaging around 15 mpg hand calculated. After my custom tune I was averaging 17 mpg by eliminating the use of the EGR to reduce NOx and making the VG turbo more efficient at lower rpms.
