I was talking about Torque, Torque in diesel engine can drop but the power remains or even increases (power = torque * rpm), going even higher it starts to drop quickly.

Torque curve in NA petrol is a lot more even (level) in that 3.7 L you are looking at 300-400 Nm through the whole rpm range, but this means a very steep power curve, diesel engine has a lot more level power curve.
