Each chaos god has a specific power, but if they all turned on each other, which one would win.

At present, Khorne. This is specifically stated.
The powers of the gods wax and wane, but Khorne is strongest now.

All the god's powers wax and wane with exception to Khorne if my fluff knowledge serves, given that in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only war after all

Yep, Khorne is the king of the hill, most of the time.
Sometimes for brief periods Tzeentch goes in his ascendant and claims 1st.
Nugle too has his days when contagions go rife in the mortal realm and experiments a sudden turbo boost that catapults him to the top, to be then thrown to his original place as fast as he ascends.
Slaanesh, well, he plays emo all the time.

Khorne is described as being the "mightiest" and seems to have the most numerous amount of dedicated followers in general. That being said he still can not overcome any of the other Gods, they're doomed to battle each other for eternity.
Tzeentch comes off as the most dangerous to me personally though.

Khorne is generally the most powerful, though Nurgle also becomes strong regularly. According to the 3.5 codex, though Slaanesh could challenge Khorne briefly, the very nature of its power would cause it to burn out long before Khorne. Tzeentch isn't as powerful as Khorne, though if they were ever to fight, Tzeentch would have billions of plans in place to ensure he won.

Even in violence is the agency of change found, tactics and plans, feints and misdirections... even in the fires of open warfare may one see Tzeentch's hand.

Yes and in violence you see soldiers go into depressions(Nurgle) or, take extreme pleasure at killing ones enemy(Slaanesh) so, in the end it really dosent matter because, after all is said and done they will all be depressed and Nurgle will win

The thing is, all the chaos gods ARE at war with each other in a thing called "The Great Game" in the warp, they are constantly infringing upon and defending their own turf.
Due to the constant 4 way battle, and their inability to actually form any lasting alliance with each other, this has been occurring since the birth of the chaos gods, with each's power waxing and waning as they fight.
They only really work together at all at the briefest of times, when it either suits them, or something major threatening their worldly interests comes up like when the scattered the primarchs to the stars/

Khorne...in terms of pure power, no one else comes close. Of course, this is only the Chaos Powers...if we were to involve other gods, I'd bet on Gork.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Only when Nurgle isn't rotting everything left and right...and Khorne actually helps him by leaving piles of gore and pools of blood everywhere he goes.

Tzeentch is the most powerful.
He just lets the other Gods think Khorne is the most poweful so he can plot and scheme with impunity.

They don't.
This is one of those things that seems to be "common knowledge" among the 40k fandom but no one ever can provide a credible source on it, like on Doombreed being the strongest of Khorne's Daemon Princes, Horus being beaten in a duel by Valdor or Leman Russ, etc.
The current Chaos codex actually maintains that the Chaos God whom is most powerful is different on any given day.

Tzeencht is definately the most powerful because:
A- He used to rule over all the other gods with his crystal staff
B- He could easily enslave all mortal life but chooses not to, in fear that he would grow bored of ruling everything
C- His blue scribes are currently re-collecting the pieces of his crystal staff (in the form of spells and magic)
D- All the other gods are unwittingly doing Tzeencht's bidding
Quote: "Don't you see? My Master Tzeencht cares not which of the Great Powers of Chaos you serve.
In the end, aren't followers of the Blood God changing valiant warriors into headless corpses?
Aren't the worshippers of the Lord of Flies changing strong, healthy bodies into rotting carcasses?
Aren't the disciples of the Dark Prince changing stern, steadfast heroes into slaves to their own senses?
Chaos is a struggle to change, you must agree. Change rules all."

Page 47 of the 3.5 codex. "Khorne is generally the dominant Chaos god." 1st sentence, 4th paragraph.
Doom Breed is "one of the first" of Khorne's servants, but not necessarily the first or the most powerful. Page 32 of the 4th ed codex.
I've never heard the one about Horus being beaten in a duel by Russ.
