Low-Buck Cummins Airflow Upgrades

We Install A 62mm Turbo, Intake, And Exhaust On Project Rust Bucket To Gain Power And Lower EGTThe last time we hit the dyno, our 5.9L Cummins picked up a whopping 140 hp at the wheels with a relatively small 0.078-inch nitrous jet. It was obvious that our '89 Dodge, known as Project Rust Bucket, needed more air, and it needed it badly. Now that its engine has an upgraded cylinder head and a beefed-up fuel system, it's time to wage an all-out war on airflow restrictions.

Sounds more like your choking the engine with far too much fuel and quenching the combustion flame. Is there actually any tuning at all or is it just a "spray and pray" kind of project?
