Uhhhhhh, 350 HP at 1800 rpm is the same as 350 hp at 4,000 rpm..........
It's 350 hp.
And just so you know, I used to drive tankers over Snoqualie Pass in WA State loaded at 105,500# with a 350 Cummins. 350 hp will get the job done.
Yea 350 HP is 350 HP, but how much torque were you producing with the 350HP????
This is where the real difference between Gas and Diesel comes out!
My Cummins with the DS Power Puck produces about 285 HP, but 610 ft. lbs. of torque, with a 360 cu in engine.
I can move my 12K 5er at 55 up 5 to 6 percent grades with 3.55 gears, try that with a gasser, at any RPM of the same HP!
