Detroit DD16 600 vs Cummins x15 Performance 605 (The New Western Star 49x engines)
One has 2050lb-ft at 975rpm, and another, the Cummins engine, have 2050lb-ft at 1150 rpm. Which is better? Is there any difference? In real world or in game? If there is, what is the difference really? Thank's for the answers upfront.

DD16 engines are made of plastic and are extremely strange to work on in some truck configurations. the X15 is a very expensive controlled oil leak but is reasonably easy to work on.

Interesting, but the question was specifically about the difference in diferent rpms and pulling power....

Btw, I made a test, and it's either a tie betwen them, or Cummins was one/half mp/h faster than Detroit one, with heavy cargo, 90 000 lbs.

I checked the torque curves for both engines:

The DD16 has slightly higher torque values across the low RPM range compared to the X15,
The X15 has slightly higher torque values across the high RPM range compared to the DD16.

Here's the full data for both engines so you can see for yourself:
