Power difference between Ford, Dodge and Chevy

I subscribe to Diesel Power Magazine and have yet to see a Ford truck with a Power Stroke motor post dyno HP or Toqure numbers that Dodge and Chevy do. Has anyone ever seen a Power Stroke dyno over 1000 HP or Torque? What is the major difference between the motors?

I have seen some numbers in those mags and they tend to be around 800ftlb is the common for the 7.3/6.0 motors...

HEUI injection system is our downfall for massive power. I read someone turned a 7.3 into a common rail system and was at extremely high levels. The new 6.4 hopefully will put Ford fans on top. I like the 6.0 and would have one if I was in the market today.
