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...

Wilber1, yes you are correct that the little turbo gassers are killer when it comes to performance. Hoook a trailer to it tell us how it works out. LOL!
Also, take that same 2.0 turbo and tune it to it's max to run on pump gas. No engine mods just tune. Now take that 6.7 diesel and tune it to the max on pump fuel. See where your numbers are. The diesel is turned way down from the factory and the gas is running close to it's max from the factory.
Well you aren't likely to find a two liter engine in any vehicle towing much more than a pop up and even then it probably won't be because of the engine.
As far as tunes go, you can take that little 2 liter to a select Audi dealer and they will send the ECU to a company called Stasis. They will reprogram it and together with one of their exhaust systems HP goes to 270 a 23% increase, torque goes to 328 lb ft a 27% increase and you will still have your four year 50,000 mile warranty. How many manufacturer's offer that option with their diesel trucks?
All the diesels are 100,000 mile warranty......
