Quadzilla Releases the New Stealth 2 Tuner for 07.5-08 LMM Duramax 16 Nov 2007

At long last Quadzilla has released a programmer for the 07.5-08 Chevy Duramax LMM. This tuner is called the S2TUNER-LMM and will add up to 110 HP onto Chevy’s powerful new Duramax. Programming combines the use of fuel injection pulse width and injection timing to create the ultimate horsepower and torque curves. The precision tuned timing maps are one of the reasons the Stealth Programmer has the lowest exhaust temperatures on the market. Perhaps the best part of the Stealth Tuner is the mileage gain that you will see. We all know that a more efficient engine will gain fuel economy and we know exactly where the stock parameters are lacking. Depending on your driving style, you can expect to see a 1-4 mpg increase!
The Quadzilla Stealth Tuner is packed full of power and features for your 2007-2008 LMM Duramax. Included in this awesome tuner is the ability to modify your speedometer to compensate for larger tires, remove your top speed limiter, retrain your transmission, and read and erase engine and transmission fault codes. All tuners also have the ability to use these user-defined categories without installing an engine tune. Quadzilla also offers free updates and revision to the original owner forever.

Top Dog Diesel Adds LightForce 28 Sep 2007

As you know, we here at Top Dog are always striving to find the best products out there for your truck or SUV. We have primarily stayed on performance stuff in the past, such as Diesel chips and gas tuners, but we have found a new line of products that we think are just great! LightForce Driving and Fog Lights are manufactured in Australia by a company that is absolutely crazy about this stuff. These lights are unlike anything else we have ever seen. The lenses are made of Lexan, which is bullet proof and sure isn’t going to break just because of some gravel! Also, these guys use a series of snap on lenses to change the lights between driving, fog, infra red, or several other options. Now you don’t have to buy two sets of lights or choose between fog or driving. In just a few seconds you can change from one to the other.

Integrated Gauge and Controller Systems from Quadzilla, Edge, and More 12 Mar 2007

The New Diesels are Here 26 Jan 2007

January 1st has arrived and the new Diesel emission laws have taken effect. Ford, Dodge, and GMC have all released new versions of their Diesel Pickups to meet the new requirements and pump up the power. The new Powerstroke has been upsized to 6.4L and given twin turbo chargers. Ford also made some improvements to the intercooler and water pump to help out with intake air temps and the cooling system. Dodge has brought the Cummins to a new level by increasing displacement to 6.7L and changing the turbo to a variable geometry configuration. The trucks are also being supplied with an exhaust brake. The Duramax engine has been given some turbo improvements, but the big power jump is coming from new injectors. GM has finally figured out what the performance market has known for years, use a seven hole injector, and you get much better performance. They are also going to an electrically controlled fan to help avoid power bleed off. Consequently, right now, Chevy is in the lead in the Horsepower Race, with the Duramax coming in at 365 HP.

True Flow Releases the XTREME Duty Intake, the XDi 11 Jan 2007

True Flow has added the Xtreme Duty Intake, or XDi line for heavily modified trucks with both diesel and gas engines. Their past philosophy has always been to use as much of the stock system as possible to hold down cost while supplying enough air to allow for a medium level of modifications. Now, they have decided to step into the extreme modification arena. They are replacing the entire filter box as well as the intake tubing to allow for maximum air flow for heavily modified trucks. This can be a great intake for some of the higher horsepower chips such as Quadzilla Xzillaraiders or PPE. The tubing is a polished tubing to improve show qualities as well.

Why we recommend True Flow Intakes 04 Oct 2006

There are many companies out there making some very good cold air intake systems, so why do we here at Top Dog Diesel believe so strongly in the True Flow intakes and filters? Performance vs. cost is one of the primary reasons. For many applications, especially Dodge and Chevy, it is almost impossible to beat the horsepower gains that True Flow delivers, especially when you also consider the price. For the Dodge Hemi, the intake delivers an incredible 19.l Horsepower and 37.7 ft/lbs or torque.
