I understand if they keep the RPM the same and the torque goes up they will make slightly more HP at that given RPM.
Again, I was talking about peak HP because I don't have a chart for the newest tune. If you do, please post it up because it will give a clue how Cummins are tuning their engines.
It's going to be interesting how Ram is going to deal with the HP wars. :) Are they going to go with a new V8? Are they going to go with a short stroke design I6? Are they going to throw in the towel and let Ford and GM be top dog?
It's getting to be like 1969 all over again with the 426 Hemi, 428 Ford and the 427 Chevy. :B
It's funny you say Cummins and D-Max are all powered out. tuners prove you wrong on that one. Cooling is the problem, not being able to make the power is not. They can tune them to hold 900 hp all the wat to redline but keeping the temps down would be the problem.
