Properly geared and wheeled (the prop size, pitch, and cup) means that it was geared properly. Yes, I really think it was geared properly. The reason it matches top speed and makes higher cruise is due to more torque from idle to top rpm. That is why a Diesel truck pulls a load so much easier than a small block gas engine. A big block gas engine that is the same HP as a small block will also have a torque advantage, especially if set up to make peak power at a lower rpm. Would you rather have a 330HP 8.1L or a 393HP 6.0l to haul a heavy load?
The 6.0, all day and twice on Sunday.
