    That serial number is good to a 455, if you want to go to 475 hrp file the turbo upgrade is needed.

    Now that is what Cat says they can do, not what can be done. Your injectors are limited due to 475hp rating but flashing to a 550 hp with hot fuel numbers may work well for you, But your engine life will be affected. It also depends on the condition of your present injectors and engine. Its hard to make power out of an engine that already has issues making its factory power.

    I have pre low nox files still, Your engine can be flashed to a 475 high performance rating. It is a field rating Cat put out for guys that did not want to change injectors. The turbo to be changed but if you adjust your wastgate actuator it should be alright.

    Pm me and we can talk. I have a contact on used ecms up here, I keep them in stock on my service truck. You never know when someone might need one on the side of the road.

    The turbo is a 0r7202, that is a 410 hp turbo, your injectors will be a 0r4894. You too could go to the 475 hrp, but the turbo may not be enough. But like Broncrider said "hook the wastegate back up?"

    Cat could have built the engine as a 550 hp if they wanted to, just had to change the emission stickers and id plate, ( that meant paper work)
     
    WallyGator Thanks this.

    boost and temp wire will not add enough power to hurt the engine, only about 40 hp and better response.
