Bingo! I don't have any plans of drag racing... just wondering about quickness off the line and what not. Specifically, my 6.4 Hemi feels a good bit slower than my old 2006 Duramax (stock). It's a bit disappointing that the Cummins sounds like it's a bit slower than the Hemi.
And to all the flame throwers - I KNOW the Cummins is made for towing. The reality is I do a lot more with my truck than tow and daily driving responsiveness is at least worth considering when dropping 50K+ on a vehicle.
Thanks everyone providing useful information.
