Diesel Performance Podcast

Ryan Gelinas spends more than 200 freaking days on the road every year promoting and marketing ATS. He's been to every sled pull, drag race, and dyno event out there. What better person to talk to about diesel gatherings, right? Paul Wilson and Ryan go over the major events every diesel enthusiast needs to know about. They also explain which could be considered family friendly and those that are not (if you know what I mean). Diesel events always provide access to nationally known brands and people showcasing the latest, greatest thing in the diesel performance aftermarket.

Jon Flament's '06 Cummins hit 11 seconds - but is destined to shave another second - at least that's what Jon wants to do - go fast, real fast. In this episode of the Diesel Performance Podcast, Chris Ehmke talks with Jon about his build and future plans for his truck.

SoCalDiesel's Guy Tripp talks to Danny and Paul about Duramax engine builds and what owners need to consider. Guy is a pioneer in the diesel performance aftermarket. He's a mechanical engineer with many years of design and manufacturer experience with cylinder heads and other high-performance parts for gasoline and diesel engines. Guy got into diesel following the introduction of the Bosch Common Rail, which many credit with creating the diesel industry we know today. In this episode, he goes into detail with the evolution of diesel parts, like cranks and pistons. And he talks about the jet ski he built and powered with nitrous. Sounds crazy - but that's what mechanical engineers do - bend the envelope to create parts for the rest of us.

PSP Diesel's Stephen Peters says a bullet-proofed Ford 6.0 is probably the least expensive, most reliable diesel power you can get. Stephen joins Paul and Danny on the podcast to explain the modifications included in the bullet-proofing process. He also goes into detail on the best way to keep a Ford 6.0 healthy (oil changes) but he also talks about oil filtration and how it's lowering maintenance costs and making the 6.0 look even better.

It's the battle between the small diesel engines - GMC Canyon 2.8L versus Jeep 3.0L EcoDiesel. Calibrated Power Solutions founder-owner Nick Priegnitz along with CPS diesel tech DJ Wlasiuk and vice president of operations and sale strategies Jamie Kerley discuss the performance differences between the platforms.

Diesel Technology Source's David Browning schools Paul and Danny on the finer points of sled pulling. David explains the beginning of the sport and why it's so popular among farmers and other country folks. David goes into detail on the hitch and the importance of a particular set-up to get the best results. The conversation devolves (as it usually does with Paul and Danny) into what happens when sled pullers break their shit. They usually drown their sorrows in a 12 pack.

Anthony Reams talks about his XDP sponsored drag truck and a new set up: common rail, twin turbo with dual fuelers clocking 9.14, 153.89 mph - outrunning two national records for ET and MPH!

Duramaxtuner.com's founder-owner, Nick Priegnitz, hosts the Diesel Performance Podcast with Danny Voss to talk about a new and exciting frontier - emissions equipped sled pulling. DT's emission's equipped sled truck Clean Sweep is a 2012 LML Duramax beta testing the Stealth 64 VVT turbocharger. Clean Sweep changes everything for performance diesel with its 600+ horsepower and the factory exhaust intact - removing smoke and noise but maintaining power.

This one of a kind diesel drag set-up has to be seen to believed. Blown Smoke won the NHRDA Pro Stock World & National Championships in an engine and chassis configuration unknown before now. Brian Spooner and Jamie Stajanowski give Paul and Danny the complete story behind Blown Smoke and how the build experienced plenty of set-backs to get where it is today. The vehicle features a 511 cubic inch Brad Anderson Hemi block with custom built heads and plenty of other mods.

Jacob White of High Tech Turbo returns to the Diesel Performance Podcast. In this episode, Jacob explains the pros and cons of big, single turbos. He also describes the differences between the s300 and s400 chargers and apparently how size does matter when it comes to driveability. The turbo-talk also dives into the difference between sea level and high altitude turbo performance, something you may need to consider if you live in the mountains.
