The 6.0L needs to be ironed out before any power increases.
Pretty soon all 3 are gonna have to beef their transmissions and axles up to be able to handle all this diesel power. I can probably guess that Dodge will still be last in transmission/axle upgrades.....they seem to be behind in the transmission department.

well, the allison tranny in the chevy diesels is only rated for 550 lb's of torque. The dodge trannys are some where around 1150, and the torqushift is up at 1200 lb's of torque, i think axles are going to be the next thing, but sterling 10.25's are pretty tough.
