Think your going to have to be more specific as to what your looking for.

Horsepower, torque, costs of oil/filter, etc. way too vague to give an answer.

Power, I'll address 0-60mph.

The 8.1 will beat a diesel from 0-60mph.

If you're refering to pulling power a diesel will pull a heavier sled than the 8.1.
