Um, Horsepower is calculated by multiplying torque by engine RPMs, so you can easily up the torque while dropping the horsepower just by decreasing the engine red line. More practically, if you optimize the engine to produce peak torque at lower rpm, you will decrease the horsepower in the process.

Generally speaking a in-line Cummins will never have the HP a V8 diesel engine will put out.
Having said that I believe the newer ISX engines put out 600 HP which is just amazing to me. Of course they hold like 55 quarts of oil ( 14 gallons) :w
Generally speaking I have an in-line 5.9 Cummins that has more HP than a 440hp Ford V8.:B
