question- 6.0L Powerstroke

I read something online recently that said the 6.0L Powerstroke was a 32 valve engine.

Is that true?

Well sumbitch, I thought it was a 16 valve like the 7.3.

No wonder it made so much more power.

a good read

I went to the link you provided. And left with a question. If my 6.0 makes the peak torque at 2000 rpms does that mean 2000 rpms is where my engine is most efficient?
