But screaming is easy for a gas engine.
Pushing extra fuel into a low-reving engine is not what I call "easy" on the engine. High torque = high stress on lots of components up to and including the transmission.
It's not easy on me and if you would notice that these high torque motors usually have to have the top ends adjusted long before the bottom ends have to be touched. The top end wear comes for RPM not torque stress. I don't care what anyone says, if you turn one motor at 2000 rpm and you turn another at 4000 rpm the the one that turns 4000 rpm is getting 2X the wear. The bearings in the bottom end are sized to carry the load of the high torque. Pull a bearing out of a 6 liter gas and pull one out of a 6 liter diesel. You will see what I'm talking about.;)
