^^^They could put the Z8hp in their pickups and continue to use the Aisin in the chassis cabs. More than likely if they introduce a trans with more gears they will flatten out the torque curve to get the Hp of the Cummins inline with the competition. GM is talking about a 500 hp Duramax and according to how the Ford performs the Powerstroke is already producing over 500 ponies. If Ram is going to offer 500 hp and wants to continue to use 6 gears and an engine with a 36% torque rise the Cummins would need to be tuned to make nearly 1300 foot lbs of torque.
