3.0L S/O vs 5.7 Hemi Dyno Video

[DEG]

Out pull, yea.

This weak hemi feels ALOT quicker than 6.7 Cummins.

Throw about 2000 lbs in the bed of your hemi truck for an apples to apples comparison.

Classic DEG. The context of the comparison (the guy you replied to) was the 5.7/SO 1500 vs the 6.7 2500.

READ HARDER.

And you're still out to lunch, of course, because the 2013 ram 2500 with the 5.7 (powerwagon no less) was tested at 8.1 seconds.

Of course, now come the excuses. Different weight trucks, different days, different weather, different testers, I bet they even wore different color socks.

"blow away". Yeah. An engine that "blows away" another one doesn't need qualifiers about gear ratios and tire sizes. You dig into those details when two engines are almost perfectly matched.

Welcome to my ignored users list. Ain't nobody got time for this.

You are just factually wrong and comparing apples and oranges.

Hey I have an idea.

Let’s compare an imaginary kind of apple that does not exist on plant earth
to
a cosmic crisp apple.

Yea, there is a significant curb weight range between the two and I took the most conservative estimate. My point was in the exact same truck, the 6.7 will out perform the 5.7 in any kind of competition.

Yeah idk the diesel really only shines in towing . It's downfall is it revs slowly and it is insanely heavy. 2 identical trucks one with an engine that weighs 2.5 x as much as the others engine tells me one of those truck will handle much better than the other regardless of any power discrepancy.

I don't dispute the readings, but I remain wary The true test will be in a couple years when we see how they hold up. You can generate huge numbers in a race car engine, but how long do they last? I'm old enough to remember the 2.2 Turbos Chrysler had in the 1980s. They were great until they weren't all of a sudden. My Mom's Lancer howled like mad. You'd think the cops were chasing you. It sounded like a siren.

Pretty certain the tech is vastly improved in nearly half a century

Correct. If we stuffed the 6.7 with 3.92 gears in a 1500 that's 2000lbs+ lighter it would be crazy...my 2500 had 3.42 gears but it towed great.
