Yes, typically gas engines make more power than diesels by revving significantly higher, diesels typically have a greater output per revolution.
I was thinking you could limit the total amount of diesel fuel per cycle to keep the output down to a similar level of when it was burning gas.
I think gasoline combustion is relatively slow compared to diesel, so if you run a single injection, what is normally already a greater output also comes in one sudden punch. So if you can break that up with more injections I think you'll be better off
