Yeesh! You my friend need a spell checker. Anywho, deisels are capable
of making A LOT more power than they are usually tuned for. Typically,
deisels are tuned to last a long long time and get better milage (think of
their typical applications). Doubling the power of a deisel is not unheard
of but it drastically shortens the life. The engines are usually very well
made (read: overbuilt) due to the high compression ratio (22:1 or greater).
