Gas engines are more powerful than diesel engines in a size that can be fit into a pickup truck. Not an opinion just a fact.

I have been to multiple drag and pulling events including diesel power challenge, their were trucks running 10 sec qtr`s and them hooked to a pulling sled, also getting 20mpg in the economy event, if a gas eng is more powerful in a pickup size like you say, why are their no gas engines with 400/850??? and installed in a let say something everyone can purchase like a 3500 DRW , because most people with this truck are towing lots of weight and rather large 5ers, and the manufacturer engineers understand that a gas is out of the question towing heavy. A buddy at work runs a top alcohol rail car, it is give or take 750hp with out a blower I think in the high 500CI and it get torn down 3 times a year and it prob only has 50 passes that equates to 12 miles . another buddy at work has a 24v ppumped twinned 98 dodge that puts down 900HP and he has never had it torn down and will run the 1/4 in low 11`s plus he drives it everyday to work. 900hp gas is not a daily driver
