4BT not enough power

The guys at pittsburgh diesel don't think that the 4BT would have enough power with lower gears (truck with 4.56). They said they have not worked on a 4B(but would give it a shot), but have worked on a bunch of 6Bs. Does anyone know of anyone with experience setting up 4B and any practical experience.

I'm starting to wonder if a 6.5 wouldn't be better as they are available for a lower price.

I'll take any suggestions, otherwise probably go gas (ugh) 360 or 350.

In closing, the guys at pittsburgh have a great web sit (directed towards semi) with a bunch of info on recommended compression for high output turbos (14:1) and other stuff.
