Are you jealous?;)
Remember that the diesel guy spent 8k more in the first place for only 15-35 more horsepower. So I don't exactly think the $$$ to HP ratio is in the diesel's favor.
8k can buy a whole lot of power in a gas engine. Of course the tradeoff will be absolutely horrendous fuel mileage in the gasser if you supercharge/turbocharge it for huge power.
But for me the 360 horsepower I have stock will haul my little load as fast as I need it to go in the locations I need to take it so stock it is for me.
