I believe the new Dodges put down over 800ft pounds of torque.

Night and day, can't really compare the two.
With minor changes, it is capable of more than 1200 ft lbs of TQ...

A buddy of mine has one with a Bully tuner, increased exhaust size and twin turbos that has produced over 1100 ft lbs. Truly an amazing engine. I'd love to see Ford pull the licensing from dodge and start putting them in their line of trucks...the best of the best.
