Any helpful advice or info....

who is the PDI rep in NC ?

 

Jerry Ray from PDI will be at the truck show at Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte this coming weekend. I'll be kicking around there myself.

FlyingTrucker..........I'm positive I talked with you yesterday on the phone. DL550CAT is a member on here that did a Acert Stage 1 tune not long ago, here's what he had to say.

Flyingtrucker, your in good hands.

 

what he said

 

pdi stage 1 i did it along with the manifold and turbo love it!! if you dont want the full 725 they can do it in 100 hp increments

 

Didnt realise there was a double post I replied in the other thread. Have fun with the tuned ecm!

 

FlyingTrucker, I thought it may have been your friend that I talked with.

The bottom ends of these motors are very strong..........your motor uses the same rods, rod and main bearings as a C-18 1000 hp marine engine from CAT. You have a different crankshaft with a shorter stroke and a different piston for the smaller bore diameter, but they're made of the same materials as the C-18. The structural strength of your engines bottom end can handle much more hp than the program your thinking of doing. The head gasket, spacer plate, spacer plate gasket and head bolts are the same. This is the one thing I love about these engines everything interchanges between them. The reason CAT did this was to lower production costs..........they used basically the same engine with slight variations in parts depending on the hp level required at the time they sold it. So it's very easy to interchange parts between them and build a monster truck engine. CAT now has a C18 Acert marine engine that produces 1150 Hp, just think of the possibilities.
