This engine was never meant to be a power and torque competitor with Ford/International and Dodge/Cummins, but rather a simply designed workhorse engine that made credible power, achieved decent fuel economy and met emissions standards in half-ton trucks.

The Dmax's have a lot more power, can get more with tunes, but it all comes at a cost. Upkeep on those engines is a little more costly than a 6.5L; just some of the pros and cons.
I havent dynoed my truck yet but im going to guess im about 250 horse. Going to be installing a cummins intercooler and HX-35 charger this summer, should bring the numbers up a tad.

Had a friend with a 98' 24v cummins. Upgraded the fuel system, put a 5 stage tuner in it and man did it rip!! I could hold with him up to stage 3 in my 6.5L; after that he would eat me alive.
