Since we are talking about turbo gassers now how about a 9.0 liter turbo gas v8. How about 1325 ft lb at 2300 rpm, then it revs out to 1350 hp at 5500 rpm. This engine also comes with a factory warranty and is made to run full throttle for long periods of time.
Turbo gasser
Diesel is chosen for fuel mileage not for power. It has big low rpm torque because of the turbo. A non turbo diesel is a turd. A turbo gas engine makes just as much torque as a diesel.
That is a boat motor and it is capable of turning WAAAY more than 5500 rpm's. It is governed at that for many reasons, warranty is one of them.
Even detuned, let's see if it will hold up for 15,000 hours.;)
