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.

im not sure i want to uprate to 455...im pretty sure i have old emissons settings and that probaly helps the power...lol -
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.

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. -

to go 550 hp its a different piston pack.
-
boost and temp wire will not add enough power to hurt the engine, only about 40 hp and better response.
WallyGator Thanks this.
