When it comes to making some serious horsepower (500+) in your Duramax, like any other diesel engine, you're going to need more fuel and air. On the fuel side of things, you start looking into bigger injectors, modified injection pumps and performance lift pumps, depending on the kind of power you'd like to make. But when it comes to choosing the right turbocharger, your options can be a bit overwhelming.

Louie Soares hails from Modesto, California. This town is at the top of the Golden State's central valley, an agricultural breadbasket. As a dairyman and farmer, Louie's at home with diesel-powered equipment, but his favorite oil burner is his bright red 2001 second gen Dodge Ram. Louie tells us some friends talked him into buying his 2500 in late 2000, right as the new trucks hit the dealerships. Of course, it didn't take much convincing, as he'd been planning on getting a new truck as a graduation present to himself.

The popularity of diesel-powered vehicles here in the U.S. has really jumped in a positive direction in recent years.

Said Benjamin Franklin of diesel truck performance in Poor Richard's Almanac, "The honey is sweet, but the bee has a sting." I know what you must be thinking: what the hell did a kite-flying Ben Franklin know about trucks and (more importantly) what exactly does a honey bee have to do with diesel performance?

The quest for speed is a powerful addiction for any automotive enthusiast. It's the undeniable passion to pin the tachometer needle and record some taller numbers in the old test log that fuels constant tweaking and tuning. Much of the spirit, passion and drive of the early days of hot rodding live on in today's enthusiasts but with a host of modern conveniences that simply weren't available in the '40s.

Many enthusiasts think about adding more power or making their truck look better. The last thing on their list is figuring out how to better stop their truck pulling a 10,000-pound trailer.
