Scania v8 better than cat engines?

A duramax v8 runs way smoother and quieter than a Cummins imo

Hmm, maybe time to reconsider team driving...


And I don't even mind getting cursed out in Portuguese.

 

Its all relative. CAT will only bump it up to 1850, possibly 2050. You can put out double that if you know what goodies to put in it.

 

My friend this summer did have a C15 rebuilt with all Cat parts and C16 Cat tune.

825 hp at 1,600 rpms with 3,079 ft/lbs tq at 1,200 rpms on the dyno.

Only 36 psi boost to achieve that.

 

I can't imagine how an engine with more displacement could make more torque, and due to a mathematical equation also make more horsepower due to V8's revving higher. What a quandary. We may never solve this question.

 

this is exactly what i was thinking.

 

No. You see, Europeans are just superior. They don't have to think about things like math. Their trucks are just better.
