I wonder how RAM can compete in the HP arena. They are quite a bit behind now. Despite what some who constantly beat the RAM drum think, they need to update their transmission as well. 10 gears > 6.

Sure did nothing to help the GM on the run against the RAM recently. I have never wished I had more gears in my RAM pulling a combined 33-35k over the West Coast Mountains. Gassers may benefit with more gears.

The Cummins has a fairly flat power curve so with 1000 lbft of torque at 1800 rpm and 400 hp at 2800 rpm the power output goes from 343 to 400 hp over the engine's operating range. With a 6 speed transmission the Ram will likely run in the range of 370 to 400 HP. The 2020 Powerstroke is claimed to be able to make from 360 to 475 HP over the engine's full rpm range and with a 10 speed transmission should be capable of running in the range of 440 to 475 hp at any speed.
