A “tuned” diesel trunk on a chassis dyno or drag strip is impressive and anyone pulling a trailer would always like more power. DR. Performance is a pioneer of Dodge, Ford and GM diesel aftermarket performance and they race a diesel powered Pro Stock Truck to prove the potential of their parts.
At PRI DR. Performance had a complete line of diesel performance modules on display. The DR. Performance Module reprograms the factory PCM and increases the overall performance of the engine while cruising or under load. Engine performance is optimized by changing the fuel plume in the air/fuel mixture. This change allows microscopic fuel particles to be mixed with higher levels of oxygen, causing greater volumes of energy to be released during combustion. DR. Performance's Alex Laughlin told our reporter that fuel economy is increased by 1-2 mpg and horsepower gains are in the 50 – 120 range depending on application. According to DR. Performance, the module does not affect the factory warranty and can be easily removed.
To keep a diesel engine running clean, DR. Performance has fuel and air filtration systems for most popular applications. Their Kleen Fuel fuel filter has a 2 micron filter that offers better filtration than most OE units.
For the hardcore diesel performance engine builder, DR. Performance also sells racing cams, engine girdles, electric water pumps and wastegate adapters. All the parts are race proven in their Pro Stock Truck program.
