HP isn't everything. Torque matters more in a truck.

Careful. That's a pretty broad / oversimplified statement.

FYI, HP is a function of TQ and RPM.

Don't forget power to weight ratio

You can have torque without hp, but no hp without torque.
Torque is force, hp is work.
I like my force to do a little work though, personally.

In a truck I would much rather have 250hp/500tq than 500hp/250tq. I'm coming from a dodge diesel with 500hp/1000tq. The power of that truck is the only thing I miss when compared to my platinum. I will tune this EB when somethings available but I highly doubt it will be able to do rolling peels when boost hits at 30mph.
