    If you mean stock by calling it the "original ", then no...it will not handle 700hp.

    Since this thread was still active as of 5 months ago maybe someone here can help. I've tried contacting cat to see what my truck needs to get it to the 475-550 and the guy I talked to didn't know much. My serial number is 5ek13162 and the sticker says 435 max. Do I need new injectors and turbo? Or a complete rebuild?
