[QUOTE="drunk on diesel, post: 1267548, member: 2558"] uhh... watch the tachometer on that little I6 vs. your big V8 some time... 5.9's make bottom end torque... 6.7's are unreal on torque down low. yes, the lack of tuning sophistication w/ the converter apply amplifies the sensation but the biggest thing is that with most 4sp dodge tuning, there is zero torque converter apply until 4th gear, and then you actually feel ALL of that Cummins torque in the highest gear where it's at its greatest. so it's like "WHOA!!!!" when you put a 2-5 lockup tune on a 6.4 with aggressive line pressure and short shift times, you'll get some saucer eyes... people are afraid the transmission is going to fall out of the truck because it's pounding like a sledgehammer on every shift @ WOT but you have the ability to soften things up at part throttle. and the adaptive nature of the tuning softens up the WOT characteristics a little. so it just doesn't seem so extreme whereas the Cummins is going to apply that converter lockup hard every time, and it's going to come after 4 gears of soggy converter inefficiency and pin you to the seat, so it feels extreme [/QUOTE]
