If you really want to boost HP in a diesel you should fog the intake with
propane.

It's amazing.... Not the same kick as nitrous in a gas motor but a
noticeable increase in power.

I read about it and tried it with a hose and a cylinder. I was able to open
the valve and give my truck an added kick.

Not sure how much is a good idea but it's fun to play around with.
