that is what i was saying before. the V10 puts more TQ to the ground than a PSD because of the rpm the TQ is at. Run a 3v V10 at 4,000 rpm with the right gear and nothing will stay with it.

Add 5-6 psi of that happy "whistle" that the diesel guys have,and it'd be even more impressive.

Reps to Krewat for having the patience to post this, once again. There ought to be a HP vs. Torque sticky.

But it's all about the entire TRUCK and what it's capable of doing.

I don't put a V10 on a bench and look at it, do I?

In that case-pull that turbo off of the diesel....
Fact is the diesel requires the turbo to do the same job that the V10 does without a turbo.

Fact is i like my diesel as much as you like your girls model v10 j/k. So neither of us will win which is better. There will always be plus and minus to each. Just comes down to personal pref.

Well in that case the v10 needs lower gears to do what a diesel does.
