If you're looking for a way to improve the performance of your diesel truck, you've come to the right place. Here at Diesel Tech, we've compiled information on the best companies to contact for intake, turbo systems, exhaust and everything in between, which means you're bound to find the perfect match.
An intake system is built to bring air into your truck's engine. Without a precise balance of air and fuel, combustion cannot occur, or if it does, it may be crippled and performance will suffer. Stock intake systems are designed to reduce the amount of noise in the truck cabin, but this comes at the cost of power. Diesel truck enthusiasts will often install a custom intake system into the engine compartment, sacrificing quiet for power.
As you can guess, turbo systems are meant to increase horsepower for a truck. Usually used to increase towing capacity, the general idea of using a turbo system is to give your truck more versatility in performing tasks.
Installing a turbo system also requires additional cooling systems to be put in place, or else the turbo will only be able to run at 10-15 second spurts before shutting down.
Exhaust systems are installed on trucks for one of two reasons: the first, to let people hear how loud your truck's engine really is, and second, to reduce constrictions on the exhaust, which can affect performance. When choosing an exhaust system that's right for you, consider whether or not you want to hear your engine rumbling 100 percent of the time it's running. Terms to know if you want to rattle the neighbors' windows are "racing" and "glasspack."

Automotive Racing Products
They say that to be successful you must identify a need and satisfy it. Back in 1968, racing enthusiast Gary Holzapfel saw that many of his friends' broken engines were caused by fastener failure. At the time, there were no commercially available studs and bolts up to the challenge. So Holzapfel called upon his many years of fastener making experience for a leading aerospace subcontractor and founded ARP (Automotive Racing Products).
ARP has been a family-owned and operated company for over four decades, and the principals of the company are in the 
shop working daily. ARP is located in Ventura, Calif., where all processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are handled in-house.
Most high-performance fastener manufacturers operate on a special order basis, but not ARP. They have over 3,500 stock part numbers. They also offer custom design and fabrication.

The employees try to save their customers as much as possible on their repairs, maintenance and performance parts.

"I could not even begin to count the times customers have brought us their trucks with estimates from other shops for $1000 plus and we find the real issue and fix it for maybe $100. There are so many shops out there that are nothing more than parts changers and just looking to make more profits and we cannot stand that," Keil said.
DP Plus is devoted to building up a trusting repeat customer base by letting customers know they care about them and not 
just how much money they can make.

FASS Fuel Systems/Diesel Performance Products, Inc.
Truly made and assembled in America: with over 90 percent of FASS product being made in the U.S. FASS is continuously searching to make these numbers 100 percent!
FASS teaches that air and vapor are major fuel contaminants when it comes to fuel injectors. Air will allow up to 50 percent greater impact force of the plunger to injector tip, causing tips to completely blow off, damaging not only components in the combustion chamber but the turbo or turbos.
Removal of air/vapor not only corrects the previous problems, but FASS also gives the customer peace of mind they are 
now getting the engine performance the engine manufacturers sold them.

Snow Performance
Snow Performance was started in 2002, and was the first to popularize and develop water-methanol injection systems for today's diesel and gasoline engines.
From the outset, the Boost Cooler has been the most sophisticated and robust out there. Snow has focused on advances in variable injection and today's pre-mapped 2Dmicro processor controlled units maintain Snow Performance's reputation as the leader in water-methanol injection.
Matt Snow founded the company after recognizing the need for detonation control in modern boosted engines. Following soon in 2003 were diesel systems for "safe power" -more power with cooler exhaust gas temps as well as improved fuel economy.

Zylstra Performance Products
Zylstra Performance Products' number one goal is to have the highest quality product and to have the best innovations.
Zylstra Automotive was founded in 1981 by John Zylstra, where they do repairs on all makes and models of vehicles. At this time the automotive computer era was just starting to boom. In 1997, Ford came out with its Powerstroke and the computer system on this engine. This computer system fascinated John, and gave him the push to start installing performance products and fuel tanks. But he was not satisfied with the quality or the options that were on the market for the auxiliary fuel and tool box systems. Zylstra Performance Products provides you with many options of fuel boxes and has also designed their own Auto Fuel Control (AFC) system. Zylstra Performance Products' number one goal is to have the highest quality product and to have the best innovations.
