I'm not sure I would buy into the explanation from the pump shop. I remember Deutz Allis having one of the Deutz V8's set up on a stand next to a Chevy 454 at Farm Progress back in the late 80's. Every 15 min. or so they would fire them both up and crack the throttles on each a few times. That big diesel seemed to have every bit the throttle response that the Chebby did. In all fairness, I am pretty sure the Deutz V8 was the twin turbo model though - but that shouldn't have made too much difference in response from idle. Check the link below in the Hyper Mods. Talk to the guys at Midwest Diesel Injection. They worked on a pump from our R52 Cummins which was a bit doggy compared to the Deutz R50 we had prior. They really woke that Cummins up and made her snappy.
