It doesn't have anything to do with keeping the EPA happy, it's a matter of
keeping customers happy. After all, we're talking about an engine which is
meant to go in a TRUCK. Trucks are made to haul things in the bed and/or
tow things behind them. This is what most people use their trucks for. And
for that purpose, low end power/torque is more important than mid/top end
power. It gets the load going. That's also why a lot of people on the list
are concerned about mods that rob low end torque.
I am extremely offended at the blatant bias of this list against low end
power.....er, never mind:)
