That's where the V8 has an advantage, staying at or above peak power longer than a higher HP truck will usually mean a win for the V8. The 600hp Cummins might only be at 600hp for a couple hundred rpm, and maybe only over 500 for a few hundred more. If you're making 500-550hp for say an extra 500 revs then you're likely going to pull out the win.
But don't let that fool you into thinking it represents v8 superiority....
Flame suit on, ladies.
