The Cummins uses no tuners or chips to enhance performance, and Joe relies on a good ole screwdriver to make tuning adjustments to the injection pump. Running on the stock internals with simple bolt-ons and compound turbos, Joe has dyno-tested his truck and made 460 hp and 867 lb-ft of torque. While the truck was strapped to the dyno, they also ghetto-fogged the engine—with nitrous-oxide sprayed directly from the bottle into the air filter—and put down 562 hp and 998 lb-ft of torque.Photo By trucktrend
