There's just something about a finely tuned turbo-D (and the sound) 
I saw on a Dodge yesterday "Smoke Doesn't mean it's Broke" 
Not sure if you had a chance to see the PINKS episode with the 10-second Ram 4x4. What a machine.

Yeah, there's a HUGE after market for diesel engines. And it gets about as techy as you can imagine. Starts with programmers, and goes to CAI, various exhausts, propane injection, water/meth injection (my next step
), nitrous, and then you get into the twin turbos, etc. There's a guy out in SoCal that is putting more than a thousand rear wheel horsepower down... and getting 32+ mpg's. I got into this last July, and I tell ya, it's addictive.
Just added a 4" exhaust the other day (cat delete)... and now the turbo whine never ends... the truck sounds like a jet helicopter engine spooling up.
Didn't see the PINKS episode... but there are lots of YouTube movies of quick diesel trucks - look for one called the world's fastest Duramax. Simply amazing.
