Like I said, different tools for different applications. Bringing aftermarket and racing stuff into the equation is a mugs game, they won’t meet emission standards and no one will warranty them. Current 1.6L gasoline hybrid F 1 engines can put out 1000 hp but so what.
That is why I said apples to oranges. The Cummins is tuned to keep EGT's in check for towing heavy loads for extended periods of time. If it didn't have to tow heavy loads or meet a different emissions tier then it can be tuned to make a lot more power. Which is why I brought up the aftermarket since they are tuned for power and not towing just like the Audi engine.
If the Audi was tuned to tow heavy loads for extended periods of time then there is no doubt it would not make anywhere near that amount of power since it would have to be detuned to handle it without melting the pistons and turbo.
Apples to oranges.
Agreed. C
