Massive Tuning News For Cummins Trucks!

We got back from the WCFab Open House and saw so many badass high horsepower trucks throwing down huge numbers on the dyno that it got all three of us thinking; do I really need 1,000 horsepower? The boys discuss the fun of it, what it takes to get there, and the practicality of a diesel truck that powerful. See what Anthony and Chris had to say here!

Anthony and Chris are back to tackle a topic we often get a ton of questions about: compound turbo kit or single turbo? The boys figured why not bring Nick Priegnitz, Stealth Turbos creator, back on to discuss this topic. We tackle the value of each setup, what works for certain driving styles, and a ton more. Class is in session on turbos!

We have a mid-week bonus episode! The boys wanted to get Nick Priegnitz, founder of Calibrated Power/Duramaxtuner, into the podcast to discuss what he and they think of the initial numbers and news on the 8.3L Duramax L6P "Mongoose." They chat about the insanity of the new displacement, what Nick expects to see out of the aftermarket industry, and a hot take on what Nick sees as a miss by the engineers over at GM. There's a ton to talk about on this one. Listen in and give us some of your thoughts on our social channels! What do YOU think about the new 8.3L Duramax? 

Anthony and Chris got an episode that will get diesel enthusiasts talking. Which modifications are overrated or underrated? The boys discuss, argue, and debate how they feel about certain mods such as box tuners, intakes, rail plugs, lift pumps, and more! Drop us a comment and let us know how you feel about certain mods for diesel trucks!

You've probably seen the news; if not, we are going to discuss it in depth on this episode of the Diesel Performance Podcast. EZ Lynk and HP Tuners have eliminated the need to have an unlocked ECM installed. This means no more downtime, a significant cost drop, and no more ECM swaps! Anthony and Chris break down all the details, what this means for the future of tuning, and much more!

Chris and Anthony have a specific topic they want to discuss today. Lately, the boys have been fielding a lot of calls and questions regarding how sluggish and underpowered a lot of these big cab & chassis Cummins, Power Stroke, and Duramax trucks are. Many of these owners are purchasing these trucks for towing and hot-shotting larger loads long distances and notice just how much less they have in terms of power, acceleration, and more compared to the regular medium-duty diesel pickup trucks. The guys discuss exactly what they have seen in terms of what these stock cab & chassis trucks drive like and discuss exactly what they've seen others doing to them to solve the issue. 

Chris and Anthony have on Dylan Stewart, Production Manager for Stealth Turbos. They sat down to discuss how much has changed in the Stealth Turbo department in the 8+ years that Dylan has been involved at Calibrated Power. From offering only a 67MM LB7 turbocharger with the Stealth Turbo inception, to having 3 turbos available when Dylan stepped in, to now Stealth Turbos offering 25+ different turbocharger options. From how different the department is, to the development of new products, and more. We talk all thing turbos! 

This week on the Diesel Performance Podcast, we're talking LB7s, big power, and this year's Sick the Mag's Michigan Miles! Jake Maher, shop tech at Calibrated Power, joins us to talk about his experience driving his LB7 and what it takes to put one of these trucks through the abuse. We're also joined by David from Cold Front Diesel to talk about his truck as well(LB7) and their experience at this year's Michigan Miles. Two LB7s, two builds, and plenty of wild things to talk about.   

In this episode, we sit down with Natalia and Dustin to talk about the upcoming WCFab Open House on October 3rd in DeKalb, IL. The crew is going massive this year! We get into what's new this year, the $11,000+ Dyno Competition, Show & Shine, raffles, vendors, the Mullet Competition, and what you can expect when the diesel community rolls into WCFab. We also talk about the bigger mission behind the event and how it helps support the WCFab Scholarship Fund and students pursuing careers in the trades. October 3rd. DeKalb, IL! See you there!
