250% of what a gas engine needs should still be enough for a diesel, right?

Sorry Xist, but I'm not sure I understand quite what you are saying with this.
So a diesel with multiple injections would not be as hard on the block as an engine with one injection? Our goal is to get up to 7 injections but it is hard to say if we will be able to accomplish that in the time we have.
2000mc and BobS, let me know if I am understanding this correctly. One cycle in a diesel engine will have higher pressure and torque than a gas engine. Because the pressures and torque are higher it is harder on the engine. A gas engine of the same displacement can get higher power than a diesel (Escalade vs Duramax) because gas engines rev much higher than a diesel?
