Horsepower is horsepower?
If that theory is true (in real circumstances), then a 385hp 6.7L Cummins diesel shouldn't spank a 381hp Toyota Tundra when both are tested 0-60 towing a 5740# boat. But it did. Must be the adva...

Actually, horsepower and torque vary across an engines rpm range. That is why both are charted on torque/horsepower curves. The advertised horsepower and torque are the peaks on the curve. In general, an engine with a flat curve will out perform an engine of the same horsepower/torque that has peaked curves. Diesels typically develop their max horsepower and torque at lower rpm than gasoline engines. That's what makes diesels better tow vehicles.
^^^^^ Winner, winner chicken dinner! ^^^^^^^^^^
Anddddddddddddddd how much power did that gas burner lose up there with no air? Pro-Stocks suck in Denver and roll at Infineon.
