Torque is limited to what the transmissions can take. Lots of guys at 625 ft-lbs now.

When they figure out how to increase RPM's (it will happen), you gassers better watch out

Bang for the buck can't be beat, is all I'm saying. I think gas version cars will always be faster ultimately, but with diesel we can have our cake and eat it too. Nice to have mountains of torque for passing power, and not rev the shit out of the motor. I call it stealth power--I pass people before they even suspect I'm trying to.

Edit: and we're waaay past 30psi tunes, lol. Stock is 28.5, mild tune is 33-35. Hot tunes can go higher, but not much point since we're more fuel-limited.
Love it.. hey gassers.. surprise!!
