Well, if they 6.7 is used with gasoline (not natural gas or propane), it can be run up to the detonation (pre-ignition) point of gasoline. To do that properly requires at least a port fuel injector to run in stoichiometric mode, and a turbocharger / compression ratio combination that takes the combustible mixture just to the point of pre-ignition.
It still wouldn't produce near the torque or power, of course, because gasoline is less energy dense than diesel fuel, and it's propensity to pre-ignition requires a maximum cylinder pressure far lower than that with diesel fuel.
And that far lower cylinder pressure is why I'm wondering how well a gas with that rotating assembly will actually perform.
