But how could that possibly be since you make more hp?

He could have done that same thing with another 2000lbs...Truck would have made more boost to compensate for the weight.

I'm still waiting for Bill to explain how the 6.4 walked away from the V10 on the video, and even had to slow down to take a corner since the V10 makes more hp...Even if it was the older one, the V10 ain't gonna' be making up that lost ground. Or, I'm waiting on Phillips to pull his calculator and explain it all away with numbers...
Now if it was the newer 362HP 3v V10 with the 5R110, then things would have been much much closer.
No, sorry. Doesn't work like that. That truck was already making all the boost it could with a stock tune. Otherwise by your logic, I could get a 1985 Ford Ranger with the 86HP turbo diesel, hook 12,000 lbs up to it and the turbo will make more boost to compensate right?

So you're saying a STOCK 6.4 makes the same power as a MODDED whatever it is you drive? But how can that be when you make more hp right off the bat?

You mean by allowing it to rev out to the upper 4000RPM range without any other engine tuning? But that puts it past it's redline, by what, 800RPM?

Tom was already at WOT, so how would he make more boost with more weight?

This is the funniest thing coming from a diesel guy I've ever read. And points more to the fact that this is NOT "dear old Dad".
Most of the diesel people I know, know better than to say "gas pedal".
I always use the term "go pedal" even when talking about gassers.

It would let it rev out and at least try to upshift, but I don't think it could hold a higher gear.

I figured it out guys...
You just can't fix stupid.
No matter how many facts and how much data is presented,they just choose to be stupid.
First my "Gasser tune" can't make any more power according to him, then, he's acting as if my tune make it some HUGE advantage over a 6.4L truck. Which is it? Whatever's convenient to be a ***** at the time?

Just to toss this out there, a turbocharger operates off of engine speed, not necessarily pedal distance or towing needs. The turbocharger spins off of the exhaust gasses exiting the engine, true that the harder you press the pedal the more a turbo will generate boost since the RPMs will increase, but it is a direct relationship to the amount of exhaust the truck puts out which is in turn in direct relation to the RPMs of the truck. You can generate more boost by flowing more air VIA less restrictive exhaust and intake, head work, etc., or by changing the setting on the bypass valve to adjust when the excess boost is blown off (aftermarket turbos, stock PSDs don't have these valves), but in the end the compressor is only able to produce it's max air flow pressure. Ultimately, the boost levels are directly associated to the engine speed, and therefore is limited to the flow of the compressor and the speed of the engine. Just my $.02.
