    Uprating C13 (KCB engine prefix) requires changing injectors, the high pressure turbo, and software. Plus Cat charges an uprate fee of $500 if the engine is out of warranty or $800 if the engine is still under standard warranty plus the parts and labor to swap the components. Turbo runs around $2100 alone so I would question if it's even worth it to gain 40 HP?
    Also, do you have enough transmission to handle the extra torque?
