Better yet tie a 15,000 lb trailer behind both and head them up a 12% grade and see what would happen.
Horsepower is king and will always win as long as traction is not lost.
So a 450 hp gas pickup truck will haul 15,000lbs to the top of the grade same no sweat as a 450hp ISX15 truck engine at 1650lb-ft?
No, but given a long enough hill and similar drivetrains with CVT, they would both eventually hit the same top speed. The Gasser would just take a bit longer to get to it.
I don't know about the sweat part.....
Math is not my greatest skill so bear with me:
So if the grade is long enough, and all other factors and weights and CVT's are identical (either engine can run where it makes it's 450hp) a 450hp / 430lbs-ft engine hauls up a 12% grade at the same speed as a 450hp / 1650lb-ft engine?

HP= how fast you hit a brick wall.
Torque=. How far you push the brick wall.
