I've seen products advertised in Diesel Power magazine
like "Cooling Mist" water/methanol injection.
how does this boost yur H.P.
I've also read where trucks are runnin propane,methanol,
and nitrous producing gobbs of power and torque.
I've done a few things to my 7.3 and am quite happy
with the performance.
So any of you out there tweakin yur rides?

  Try Lucas fuel treatment.

  Don't know whats in it but it sure works. kinda priced up there though

  The more fuel you throw to the engine, the more air ya need. Hence more turbo/boost. When these are takin to the higher limits then the mixture will be very hot in cylinder, possibly to the point of melting down literally the engine. By injecting nitrous you double the amount of oxygen in the cylinder for hotter burn. Also the same for propane. You can inject water also to slightly cool the mixture. If a person builds a diesel engine with great amounts of boost and fuel you will probably have to put these systems on. Remember a diesel operates with high compression to light the fires, usually more than 20.1 ratio.

  Do not put in any gas intended to be used in any gas engine smaller than say 50 horse. Even though it says it's ok. Diesel wise it's great stuff.

  Oh i forgot i work at the plant that builds the 5.9 liter cummins for dodge. The 5.9 is now slowly being replaced by the new 6.7 liter. We have to guys at work that are both pulling 1100-1200 ft.lbs of torque and 500-650 hp on a chassy dyno(rear wheels). They are driven everyday.
